Bill Collins Car Show
« on: October 13, 2018, 08:10:23 PM »
Hey, everyone, I took my son to the nearly all-Ford car show today at the Bill Collins Ford dealership here in Louisville. I got to meet Larry427 and his nice wife. I got to see 3 real Shelbys up close and personal. One was a survivor, which was a treat. There was a '67, a '69 and a '70. Unfortunately, 2 of the owners I met of these neat Shelbys, did not belong to S.A.A.C. or were on the forums. I'll try to get the owners to join, next time I get a chance to see some Shelbys. I look forward to meeting more of you at an Indiana S.A.A.C. event. Later.
Waitin' for the day I get my first '70 Shelby convertible!

I forgot to go back and take a picture of the '69. I did get a picture of the '70 and 2 of the '67. I'll post soon. Larry's 427 looks pretty correct in the interior. The trunk area was all aluminum.

Btw, what are those glass/plastic dots behind the roof scoops on those '67 Shelbys? And what the heck does it mean when people end their message with "phred"?

I miss that crazy guy in the shades next to Phred. I always get a smile when I see that picture.  ;D
