Today we celebrate the Birthday of American automotive designer, racing driver, and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby. Born on the 11th of January 1923 in Leesburg, Texas, US, he is best known as a designer for his involvement with the AC Cobra and Mustang for Ford Motor Company. He also developed the Ford GT40 with racing legend Ken Miles, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969. As of 2024, it remains the only American-built car to win at Le Mans. His and Miles’s efforts were dramatized in the 2019 Oscar-winning film Ford v Ferrari. We celebrate his Birthday with a Ford Mustang Shelby GT50 named for him…
