Carroll Shelby

"1923-2012"

May 11Th, the automotive world lost a great man. Shelby, Carroll died from an illness with 89 years old.
Carroll Hall Shelby was born in the town of Leesburg in Texas and is health conditions were not the best when he was just a child. Shelby was a driver himself before building the cars we know. He ceased driving in the year of 1959 with a victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the Aston Martin team. Actually, the very first time he drove his father car, Shelby got a speeding ticket. This was sure a passion for great, fast, good looking cars as the ones he gave us. Rest in peace Carroll Hall Shelby.
