NOTE: As of noon on 3/20/15 the upper plaza location is now full with 50 vehicles. However, the Blackhawk has arranged to secure the lower plaza parking area so we are able to expand the charity car show spaces available. Please keep this in mind if you decide to donate and show your vehicle. All entrants will be eligible for awards regardless of display location. Thanks.
Team Shelby – Pacific Coast Region in partnership with the Blackhawk Automotive Museum
Blackhawk Museum conveniently located in the San Francisco East Bay suburb of Danville, is excited to bring this 2nd annual charity event honoring the legacy of Carroll Shelby to NorCal “Powered by Ford” enthusiasts. This memorial car show will feature Shelby, Ford GT, Cobra, Tiger and Boss vehicles. Although show entry requires a nominal donation, spectator attendance is free to all. Several special guests, including Peter Brock, are scheduled to attend. A couple of vehicle surprises are in the works too. Tim McGrane, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Museum (and a former Barrett Jackson executive) will be on hand to help judge entries and issue some neat trophies!
RSVP’s and pre-payment of a charity donation of $35 (or more if you wish :-) per entered vehicle is required for this event so we can anticipate parking layout on the museum’s photo-op perfect plaza. Upper plaza entries will be limited to the first 50 vehicle reservations.
As noted above, additional charity car show spaces are available for reservation on the lower plaza parking area. Please use the GoFundMe link below to facilitate this transaction. When your payment is confirmed, this will be noted on the roster below. Donated entry fees will be shared with the Carroll Shelby Foundation
The Carroll Shelby Foundation and Wheels for Chairs

So mark your calendars and post-up if you’re interested in joining us with your entry - or as a spectator, for a great day at the Blackhawk Museum honoring Carroll Shelby with other “Powered by Ford” enthusiasts. Please note the year and model of your vehicle when replying so trophy categories / quantities can be determined in advance based upon expected attendance.
Note: For ease of editing, I’ll maintain the list of Memorial Classic car show entries in Post #2 immediately below.
The show starts at 10am and ends at 2pm. Owners entering their vehicles in the show should arrive by 8:30am to allow adequate time for staging, and once on the plaza, will not be able to exit until sometime after 2pm. Please note that parking at one edge of the plaza is sometimes subject to overspray from the water fountains in windy conditions, although this is rare. Also, there are several restaurants in the complex to enjoy lunch at.
The Blackhawk Automotive Museum is located at 3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Danville, CA 94506
