Shelby: The Man The Cars The Legend
by Wallace A. Wyss
2007, softbound, 203 pages, b&w photos
“Carroll Shelby is a character, an icon in car culture and has accomplished and failed at many things in life from chicken farmer to an 83 year old man who is now (again) advising Ford on the creation of the Shelby Mustang. The book goes back into Shelby’s history in racing, the beginnings of the Cobra, The Daytona, Ford’s battle for LeMans, the front drive Shelby Dodge, Series I, and the Viper.” Motorbooks review.
I would have liked to have seen a little more about his racing career and a fewer Texas witticisms, but all in all a good read, especially for any fan of Shelby or his cars. And who isn’t?
