Thirteenth Anniversary Holiday Party Saturday, December 5, 2009 • 6pm - 11pm You are invited to attend the Thirteenth Anniversary of the Shelby American Collection Holiday Party. Please join us this year in a special tribute to Carroll Shelby. Carroll and the Shelby American Team achieved sucess after success with the 289 and 427 Cobras, the Cobra Daytona Coupes, the Shelby Mustangs and the GT40s. Victories piled up rapidly and in 1965, Shelby American won the F.I.A. World Manufacturers GT Championship, the only U.S. car company to do so. Carroll continues to be an influential figure in the automotive world today, with new Shelby models of the Ford Mustang appearing regularly. The presence of a Shelby badge on a car continues to turn heads and signifies that it is something special. It all began when Carroll and his team dropped that first Ford V8 into an AC chassis. The Shelby American Collection is proud to have a growing family of friends each of whom played important roles in the success of Shelby American. This year we welcome back a key group of people who made Carroll’s dream come true: Bob Bondurant - Winner 1964 Le Mans GT and 1965 F.I.A. World Manufacturers’ Championship Jack Sears - Winner 1965 F.I.A. World Manufacturers’ Championship Phil Remington - Director of R&D, Shelby American Allen Grant - Shelby American Driver and Mechanic Lew Spencer - Shelby American Driver and Shelby TransAm Team Manager Chuck Cantwell - Shelby American GT-350 Project Engineer Tom Yeager - Shelby American and TransAm Driver Bill Neale - Renowned Automotive Artist Autograph Session Carroll Shelby has agreed to sign a very limited number of autographs at the party.
