NYTimes Story on Carroll Shelby
Few people have had such an influence on the automotive industry. While his idea was not entirely a new one, he did it in such a devastating fashion, the effect has been known for 50 plus years on.
Shelby also did things with style, and with a marketing edge that few have matched. While his style with the car suggested that of using a bigger hammer, his style in marketing was somewhat more refined. In the end, the word 'Cobra' will never be associated with anyone else again.
May the road always be smooth and the wind at your back Carroll Shelby.
