Rich -
I think you are referring to Scott Schleh from St. Augustine, FL. He makes ceramic models of all kinds of cars, including Shelbys, Cobras, and GT40's. He often comes to Carlisle, and sometimes to SAAC conventions. My guess he was out to Laguna Seca in '97 when Shelby was the honored marque.
He makes small ones, and also large scale ceramic models. I have a "Cobra Caravan" set made by him, and also a Cobra roadster that is nearly 2 ft. long (you can see it in the bookcase in my gallery). Here is what his Cobra Caravan looks like:
I have taken my cars individually to SAAC Conventions, and had former SAI drivers autograph them.
Checking the 'net, I found this e-mail:
MrClayCars@aol.com
and this phone number: (904) 794-1295
He does really nice work.
