It is often assumed without Shelbys involvement AC cars would have been done, kaput, game over. I don't think so myself, I think they would have found another way to survive for years to come.

But "fade into oblivion" in time I believe is an accurate statement. They, like so many others, rode Shelbys coat tails to fame. Fame deserved, or not, was just part of the deal if you worked with the man along the way.
