1968 Shelby GT500 Postcard
« on: May 26, 2020, 10:28:53 PM »
I came across this postcard on the Bay and I don't remember ever seeing one like it before.  Has anyone ever come across this one?

A nice nostalgic post card but it is not any kind of period factory literature. By the appearance in the picture of the restored car in less then factory assemblyine condition I would guess it might have been done sometime in the 80's or maybe newer.
