Review: Spectacular Photos & More - I loved this book, “Shelby American – 60 Years of High Performance.” This book does not attempt the impossible task of chronicling every detail of Shelby American history. Instead, it gives you plenty of information along with spectacular photographs. Want to see a picture of Cobra production at AC Cars in England? Turn to page 38 for a nice 5” x 8” print. More of a Shelby Raptor truck fan? Check out the 5 ½” X 8” photo on the bottom of page 208. There’s something here for everyone who cares anything about any part of the 60 year history of Shelby American. The majority of the book focuses on the early years, where the cars, events, and especially the people are discussed, with a liberal display of factory photographs. Many of which I had never seen, and all of which were the largest, sharpest versions I’d ever seen in print. That’s what 9 ½” X 12” pages will do for you. Want to know whose idea it was to slant the radiator forward in the Daytona Coupe, and why? Go to page 96. And this book carries the S.A. story forward, discussing Shelby’s time at Chrysler, and more recently, back at Ford. Plus discussion about the clubs that have formed around these special cars over the years, and some of the activities that owners and enthusiasts are enjoying today. But I have to say that my favorite part of this book was on page 75. It’s a single page article titled, “A Small Taste” by Colleen Kopec; where she writes about her first drive of a 1965 GT350 R-Model. It’s the best explanation I’ve read of the emotional connection that many people develop for these cars. For me, that one page was worth the price of the book. I give this book 5 stars, and my unreserved recommendation.
Review: Lots of New Material on Shelby American - Having owned and been involved with Shelby's for over 40 years, I thought I had seen most everything written on this subject. However, this book is loaded with new information, stories and photos. When you think about how many combined publications these two authors have put out over the years on Shelby American, it is impressive how they managed to find so many never seen before photos that are included in this book. Both Comer and Kopec have a very unique writing style that makes it easy to pick up this book and become engrossed in it. If you think you've already seen everything on Shelby American, you will be pleasantly suprised.
