SHELBY BIOGRAPHER TO INTRODUCE HIS SHELBY BIO TO SAN DIEGO
Wallace A. Wyss, a long time Shelby biographer (Shelby's Wildlife: the Cobras and the
Mustangs came out 40 years ago!) has authored a new book entitled SHELBY: The Man,
The Cars, The Legend. He will be at Only Yesterday Classic Autos, 10343 Roselle Street
in San Diego from 10am to 12pm on Saturday, June 23rd, during which time he will give a
speech on Shelby's colorful background and autograph books that are purchased. Shelby
was born in the 1920's in Texas, the son of a rural mailman. Shelby joined the Army-Air
Force before WWII and served throughout the war as a flight instructor. Later he tried a
variety of occupations from being a cement contractor, oil well roughneck, and chicken
farmer before settling on race car driving. In five years he moved from nowhere to winning
the biggest race of them all -- the 24 hours of Le Mans for Aston Martin.
Wyss will tell the story of the Cobra, a car that Shelby first built in 1962 and which he is still
making today! The how and why of Carroll Shelby's success story will be told in full detail by
this ultra-fan of Ford racing cars. Wyss will also be introducing to San Diego’s high-
performance Ford fans the new book he co-authored, Ford GT40 and the New Ford GT,
along with Al Axelrod and Brian Winer. This book fully details the history of the original
GT40’s and then goes into how Ford in the year 2000 designed, engineered and finally
marketed in '05 and '06 a 200 mph supercar that was, for one brief shining moment, every
bit the match for Ferrari’s 360 Modena. For directions, please see index
