NEWS: Amy Boylan out, John Luft in at Shelby American

[Excaliber]

Well your right Ron61, they are not "Eleanors" per se, I was just tongue in cheek making a comparison. The "new" version of these GT-CR's leans more toward Eleanor styling than it does toward the orginial look though. Myself I prefer the original look/style, these seem a little to over the top from a styling perspective. Kind of like styling adaptations on the original Cobra 427 look/style. It's pretty hard to improve on a classic, simple, timeless design that was inspired by "function" first and it happened to look terrific almost as an after thought. What we have with the modern version is a pure design effort with function as an after thought, and it shows.

Maybe I'm missing something, but where does it actually say Amy is out?

Good...I thought I was going blind.

Edit...not commenting on whether it's true or not...just that the press release is mucho vague, and yet a thread of comments follow.

aaah, the wordsmithing of it all.

Luft has been put into the head chair at SAI...for now.

Not spoken to directly in the PR, but Amy has left the building.

TS Forum has removed the "Ask Amy" section, etc.

I wish her all the best, as most here should. She had been a good friend of this site and always dealt with us fairly. She always continued to deal with the "replica crowd" with respect...as one motorhead would to another.

Like it or not, she made an impact and kept a flame going...adding 8 or 10 thousand new Shelbys to the road.

..and so it goes.
