here are my favorites.....

first handing CS the Plaque and reading it to him for his 85th Birthday at the banquet.......




and then his great response.

The plaque carried the names of 50 of us from the ShelbyAutos.com website with our screen names and csm numbers and said the following:

To The Greatest American Racing Driver and Builder of the World's Most Incredible Cars.
Thank you for not only living your dream, but allowing us to share in it. You have Our Undying Gratitude.
Happy 85th Birthday Mr. Carroll Shelby

This is a "with" picture only in that Mr. Shelby is with some of his peers and good friends, and I am with them all, but as the photographer, in this case:



Who are those guys?

John Morton...Tony Adamowicz... Chuck Daigh... Bob Bondurant... Mr. Shelby (rare Ed McMahon lookalike smile!)... Dan Gurney... Mr Hill... Jim Hall.

Parnelli Jones... Jim Busby... Danny Sullivan... (?)... Stefan Johanssen.

(The little silver-curl mullet behind Chuck Daigh's collar belongs to Bernard Cahier, eminent motorsports photographer and journalist. RIP)

All at the Phil Hill Tribute dinner with the Fabulous Fifties non-organization members, gathered together November 11, 2004 at the Petersen Automotive Museum. A real privilege to be there.

I've not had the pleasure of meeting the man himself. I'm hoping I can afford to make it to the next birthday bash.

From the Shelby American Collection party last December. That's Bob Bondurant in the wings. This was just after I told him of the plan to donate one of our cars with proceeds to the Children's Foundation.

Here's a couple shots with Mr. Shelby taken during the SCAT (Shelby & Cobra Association of Texas) yearly convention in Dallas during 1995. The first picture was taken after he autographed a photo for a good friend of mine. The second shot is of Mr. Shelby wearing the infamous Secret Service cap. I can't remember the lady's name sitting next to him; and also wonder what happened to that USSS cap? I remember she was very cordial and helpful, like Mr. Shelby, during this autograph session. Needless to say, he was the guest speaker at the convention. Any of you SCAT guys out there?

that is the picture. That is the reason I have been a Shelby guy since I bought my 70 gt350, it may be gone but the spirit of the man prompted me to buy the new one.
