I don't agree at all the Chevy was Shelby's FIRST choice. There were many variations on the theme Shelby considered. OLDSMOBILE was likely the FIRST choice, by Shelbys own words and what he eventually chose for his Series 1.

But then, AC was not logically the first choice for the car either! Austin Healey preceeded the AC, for example. The 'recipe' was cooking, over time it would evolve and it became AC and Ford. What might have been is little more than pure speculation.
