anybody on the spot but is Mr. Shelby's first wife still alive? If so does she care anything about the Shelby cars now? I'm sure that she was a big part of his story but I've just never read anything about her. Thanks for the help.
I think his first wife is now his current wife, with several in between. There is alot about her in The Cobra Story.
"Miss Cleo" is Carroll's current Wife. having met her in person, she would have to be the Hottest 70 something woman to have been his first wife!! Randall's Father is in his 50's. I do believe his first wife is alive still to this day.
Is Randall the moderator of this site? If so maybe.... he could shed some light on this topic? I'm not trying to be controversial. I'm just curious as to what she thinks of all this interest 40-50 years after Carroll's racing career ended.
His previous wife died in a car wreck...few years ago... Cleo was a Ferrari collector, prior to meeting Carroll ....
She is alive and well. They were married for about 17 years and divorced in 1960 I think...something like that anyway. She went to many races with him throughout the 50's. She is a fan of auto racing and enjoys watching Formula 1 as well as other racing on TV. As for the Shelby cars, she certainly has an interest but I'm not sure exactly what her thoughts are. Randall
