Good call. The name Carroll Shelby should live on...
Like Ford, or Goodyear.
RIP Carroll. A man to be admired.

I wouldn't call him exactly a car designer. He didn't design the AC Ace after all. I would call him a car sorcerer.Originally Posted by compositepro
A great loss though.

A great man, and for my money his greatest car, and the greatest Ford ever built.

Mom: He was very sickly until he started riding around on that bicycle.
Dad: Yeah... well... now his body's fine, but his mind is gone.

(NYT obit)He possessed the brashness and imagination of a consummate promoter.
Bill Neale, an automotive artist who illustrated Shelby’s designs, once recalled for Vanity Fair that when Shelby assembled his first Cobra, he painted it yellow and had it photographed for the cover of Sports Car Graphic. The next day, he showed another magazine what seemed to be an identical car, colored red.
“I said, ‘You have two of them?’ ” Neale recalled. “And he said, ‘Nah, we just painted it so they think we have two.’ ”
