Carroll Shelby captured three national sports car championships in the United States and is the only man to win 24 Hours of Le Mans as a driver, team owner and auto manufacturer. I don't see that record ever be beat again. Made the Ford Mustang a performance car and still the Shelby Mustang is tops on peoples wish list. From an enlisted pilot in WWII and chicken farmer in Texas to the World Stage Automotive Icon...what a great American!
