Shelby was not a principale in "S&C", I said that S&C was a Shelby "franchise", i.e. thay were the appointed dealer for the area.

Yes, CS was the franchise holder for "Shelby Ford" in Tahoe in later years, it went along with his "Sky Terrace Motel" property there. I would imagine the Ford franchise was an extra reward for his Ford connections. He was only the owner and didn't participate in the management from what I have been told by old FoMoCo dealer relations people.
