My company has been commissioned to produce a brand history document for Carroll Shelby, I am needing to interview several of the key developers of the brand and Peter Brock is at the top of the list. I have been trying to locate Peter Brock's (designer/photographer not the late Aussie rally driver) contact information. I understand he lives in Richmond WA as a commercial photographer. Does anyone have an email address, web site of phone number? Feel free to email me rather than post the information. info@racingdivision.com Thanks in advance, Michael Holmes, President Racing Division, Inc.
He has a website but I can't remember what it is right now. I will look it up for you and post later. Randall
Racing Division was incorporated last April primarily as a design and brand studio. For the past 15 or so years I have been Creative Director of some of the leading design and interactive agencies in the US, Asia and Europe. Returning to LA I decided to start my own studio, continue developing creative solutions for clients but also seek out the kind of clients we want rather than need. We approached CSL nearly two years ago seeking a licensing agreement to develop their heritage line of apparel, this past April our licensed was granted and Racing Division was born. Very soon you will see a new line of T-Shirts, Cobra Team (will be the only supplier) Jackets & vintage style posters. Everything we do is based on many hours of research, each piece of clothing will be made here in LA, only a few miles from the Venice & LAX facilities. The brand book comes from necessity. Even though the CS brand is 45 years old those who know the brand the best have either passed or are scattered around the world and while there are many wonderful books on the photographic history there are none on the exceptional CS or SAI brand. That's it in a nutshell. Blah Blah Blah
I have sent Peter a link to this thread on the forum site, this way he can become involved with you at his pace. I know he has just returned from the Monterey Historics, so it may take him a little time to get caught up. As you know, he was instrumental in the development of the jackets, t shirts and Cobra emblems among many other special projects at Shelby American.
Dear Racing Division,Send an e mail to me at hov@blarg.net with your phone number and we can chat, I can try to reach you on Sunday if you are around. By the way, just notice the background of your photo, the old Venice factory on Princeton Drive????
Email sent, and yes my car is shot at the old Shelby facility on Carter St a few months before it was torn down, luckily 1042 Princeton Dr still stands (would love to get my hands on that space). Dave shot many cars in that exact spot, what better place to have mine photographed.
Hi Michael, Yes I did get your message at my home e mail, when I think about calling you, it is usually late at night or I had got sidetracked . I will take your phone number to work and see when I get a break I will give you a call. Thanks, Mark
Mark. Thanks for the email, let me know when we could have our chat. BTW any chance you can make the LASAAC show on the Santa Monica Pier next month? Regards, Michael
