My neighbor, an avid record collector, recently acquired this album. It was recorded in December, 1956. I haven't listened to it yet, but my neighbor says that at one point CS was asked what he wanted to be doing 10 years down the road. He replied something like wanting to own a ford dealership.

This isn't working too well. I'll try again later from home.

High Performance Motors was created to market the Cobras and Shelby Mustangs it was in Southern Calif. When the Shelby Mustang program was relocated by Ford to Dearborn, Michigan. Shelby Ford was created and located at Lake Tahoe, Ca. Sold out sometime in late 70's-early 80's. A license plate frame from there would be nice to have.

ALITTLE HISTORY ON THE FORD DEALERSHIP AT TAHOE. IN '68 I BOUGHT MY FIRST HOME THERE....SOLD MY 289 COBRA, CSX2192 & MY '67 GT500 # 0962. SHELBYS DEALERSHIP WAS ALREADY THERE. A SHORT TIME LATER CARROLL CHANGED THE NAME TO SHELBY-STEFFANS FORD.AFTER THAT IT SOLD TO FRED STREETER , AND BECAME STREETER FORD. FRED UNTIL HIS DEATH LAST YEAR REMAINED GOOD FRIENDS WITH CARROLL. HIS OFFICE HAD ALOT OF MEMOBILIA. ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO A FRIEND WHO RAN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THERE CAME ACROSS ALOT OF CARROLLS "STUFF" INCLUDING THE CS TIRES.NOT SURE WHAT BECAME OF ALL THAT AS I HAD A STRONG INTEREST. ANYWAY, HE GAVE ME TWO PLATE FRAMES. I PUT A BLANK PLATE IN ONE AND HAD CARROLL SIGN IT. ITS ON THE DOOR OF MY CAR TRAILER. THE OTHER FRAME I GAVE TO RICK KOPEC. IT'S BECOME A CHALLENGE AS I DRIVE AROUND HERE TO FIND AN OLD FORD CAR WITH THAT FRAME. A SIDE NOTE,BACK THEN A HAD A FLAT BOTTOM BOAT WITH A 427 SO.FAST FOR THOSE TIMES. CARROLL ALSO KEPT A 18' SANGER UP HERE AT HIS (HE OWNED) MOTEL. I DID RACE IT ONCE, IT WAS BLUE AND NAMED "EL COBRA". CARROLL WASN'T DRIVING, BUT I DID PULL IT. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SUMMER. SOLD IT LATTER ON TO PAY FOR "PRENATILE" FOR MY FIRST BORN! CARROLL STILL HAS A HOME UP HERE I THINK, WONDER WHAT BECAME OF THE BOAT!!
