Probably best known in the UK as the man that brought us the
legendary AC Cobra some 50 years ago, Carroll Shelby became a
legend much earlier, during his time as a racing driver. The following
is taken from an article by Art Evans, a close friend of Shelby.

This Shelby family photo was taken towards the beginning
of the fifties. Shelby is holding one of his many trophies
with Sharon on his left, then Patrick, Jeanne and Michael.
