A subsidiary called Shelby Accessories working out of El Segundo, California, marketed driving gloves, Shelby Cobra logo cuff links, ball caps, windbreakers, T-shirts, sweatshirts, beer and cocktail glasses, mugs, ashtrays, jacket patches, decals, artists' prints of racing scenes, Snell-approved driving helmets, and of course, the renowned Pit Stop, "A Real Man's Deodorant!" Label on the 6 oz can features a likeness of Shelby himself, as well as a line of his race-winning cars around the side: two GT40s and a Cobra bringing up the rear. Circa 1966.
