Shelby Cobra Fifty Years
The highly acclaimed Shelby Cobra Fifty Years is Comer’s third book and proves what we all knew: it was worth the wait! Shelby Cobra Fifty Years is not only a complete history and celebration of Shelby’s Cobra, but also about the people that made it great and have kept the legend alive. From Carroll Shelby’s start in sports car racing, to his dream of building a world-class sports car, to the impact the Cobra had on the motoring world that is stronger than ever today, this book has it all. Consider it a stack of yearbooks from your favorite All-American’s career. This is a Cobra book like no other, a fresh approach from a writer who knows the cars like no other. As always, Comer delivers unbelievable and formerly unseen archival photos, combined with stunning contemporary shots that are worth the price of admission alone. As Carroll Shelby says in his foreword, “they got the right guy to write this book when they picked Colin.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
Shelby Mustang Fifty Years
Shelby Mustang Fifty Years is just that- a celebration of fifty years of these magnificent machines and covers every iteration from the original, raw 1965 GT350s to today’s Shelby 1000 monster. More importantly it profiles the men that made it all happen like “Mr. GT350” Chuck Cantwell, Peter Brock, and the men that keep the dream alive today like Jim Farley of Ford Motor Co. Created in cooperation with the Carroll Hall Shelby Trust and officially licensed by Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc., Shelby Mustang Fifty Years is lavishly illustrated with rare, historic photography and modern color images to chronicle the story of these amazing cars, from the initial collaboration with Ford to today’s record-setting high-tech muscle. Foreword and tribute to Carroll Shelby by the “Father of the Mustang” Lee Iacocca. Just like all of Colin Comer’s other books, Shelby Mustang Fifty Years is a not-to-be-missed masterpiece that will thrill everybody from the most casual Mustang enthusiast to the most dyed-in-the-wool Shelby fan.
