Shelby Club big doings Sat. Sept. 14th in Gardena CA

I can't figure out if they are just showing the trailer or the actual film Ford v. Ferrari by their announcement or what time the film is, but maybe on the SAAC Los Angeles site you can figure it out. Anyway I'm going to see if there's some appreciation for fine art....it costs money to enter the show with your car but not as a spectator....location is 19021 S. Figueroa,Garden,,CA. Event runs 9 am to 3 pm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW

Featuring Ford v Ferrari, the movie, a tribute to 1966 Le Mans, as well as

the 50th Anniversary of the 1969 Shelby G.T. 350 and Shelby G.T. 500.



Ken Miles was one of Carroll Shelby’s most significant employees.

His talent spanned decades as a mechanic, innovator and foremost, a

magnificent driver. Miles helped in transforming Ford-powered race cars

of the Shelby American Employees at the 21st Annual Employee Reunion.

There will be no showing of the fillm, sorry I mis-read their announcement. But at least one actor that was in the film will be there as well as a Sgelby mechanic who was portrayed by an actor in the film.

 

Hotter than hell, building not air condutioned, hard to get good photos gloomy lighting. About 30 cars inside and 30 more outside. Couldn't take the heat to hear panel discussion. Highlight for me was completely restored Lone Star, one off mid engined car built by Shelby, ignored by Ford, belongs to Cobra book author Mike Schoen. Also someone had rare black & white photos from Shelby circa 1965 , but I arrived too late. Lotsof souvenir items, t shirts and the like. Several current model Ford GTs including at least one with custom paint scheme designed by Camillo Pardo, head designer on '05-06 Ford GT
