socalwrench Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I was looking through my Mustang pictures today, and as I was going through the Shelby ones, I came across this picture of Carroll Shelby. I have a few of him in recent years, and I was thinking.... why not start a thread of pictures of the man himself. So, here it is. Please post your favorite picture, new or old, of Carroll Shelby - Team Shelby member #1. Thanks! Edited = found a bigger version of the same picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank S Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ahhhhhhhhh the first Terlingua event. Something I will NEVER EVER forget!!!!!!!!!!! And not 1 not 2 BUT 3 Icons in one place!!!!!!! Oh so many memories!!!!!!!!! Bud Now those are some decent pictures! You know, my wife and I had been there the day before, and decided to pass on by while this was happening. Some stupid choices are unrecoverable. Echh. My topmost favorite Carroll Shelby picture from (maybe) Pomona or (perhaps) Riverside, about 1956 or so, made by Tom Cardin: My favorite picture that I took (first Terlingua, in the Lajitas frontier street): My favorite picture I took that has a couple other faces in it (Tribute to Phil Hill at the Petersen Automotive Museum) The other faces are: John Morton...Tony Adamowicz... Chuck Daigh... Bob Bondurant... Shelby (rare Ed McMahon lookalike smile!)... Dan Gurney... Phil Hill... Jim Hall. Parnelli Jones... Jim Busby... Danny Sullivan... (? Porsche driver whose name I disremember)... Stefan Johanssen. OK, one more, with Alice Hanks at the Fabulous Fifties non-organization's 2002 Christmas dinner. The guy in the background looks like the way I feel when I am in the presence ... I have a few more from a Fab Fifties picnic in the early 2000s, but haven't found them yet. Filing system failure. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanted2b Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 How would a person get a signature with Mr. Shelby?? Maybe need to drive to Vegas and tour the museum and see If I can catch up with him. Get him to sign the dash while he's still with us. Then I could have the Shelby turned into a Super Snake. HAHAHAHA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice John, all of us 40th people think this was a great event and you all should be extremely proud to be part of a Carroll Shelby legacy. Is this the one hanging in CS's office?

He's not in Vegas often and getting his sig. at an event is a long shot. He usually does not do car parts at events, usually only posters, etc. If you want a car part signed, pretty much through the foundation is the only way. Nice thing about that is you get an authenticity certificate and you are making a great donation to a great foundation!

Is this the one hanging in CS's office? Also like the picture of Bud with CS having a cold one. I think so. We presented the plaque to Carroll at the party, so no pics available till after the party to put in. This is the photo I inserted into my plaque, but I added the names. Here is another example of Mr Shelby's class. When we presented him the plaque, he accepted it and then handed it back to us and said "you came here to get my signature, well I want yours". He had us disassemble the plaque and had each one of us sign the front. It was awsome to say the least!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
