Today, the name Carroll Shelby is synonymous with excellence in the realm of automotive performance. With a brief yet storied racing career already beneath his belt, Shelby spent much of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s manning the draft board, working diligently to engineer vehicles that were destined to dominate tracks of both a foreign and domestic nature.
Shelby’s success in such endeavors was unprecedented, and still highly respected to this day. Perhaps even more impressive, is the fact that Shelby was already nearly 30 years of age when he began carving out his place within the automotive landscape, and did so all while downplaying a host of serious medical issues. Still, somehow, against all odds, Shelby persevered, creating a remarkable legacy, and leaving behind his indelible stamp on the automotive industry as a whole.
