Los Angeles, California (September 19, 2012)- Stephen Becker Automotive Group, Inc. has filed
suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Shelby Automobiles, Inc., a subsidiary of Carroll
Shelby International, Inc. Stephen Becker Automotive Group alleges in its complaint that
Shelby Automobiles defrauded it by inducing it to enter into a Cobra dealership agreement and
then, when the dealership invested its capital and ordered several Cobras, pocketing the
dealership’s money. Stephen Becker Automotive company spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars for high-ticket Cobra vehicles, but Shelby Automobiles shelved the orders and did not
produce the ordered vehicles for years, and in some cases not at all. Stephen Becker Automotive
also alleges that Shelby Automobiles then tried to force it out of business so that Shelby
Automotive could sell the ordered vehicles to other parties for even more money.
