Does anyone know anything about this dealership or have any contacts of ex-employees?
My car was sold there. Let me know if you find anything
A good bet might be friends or family of Walt, which passed away last year.
Another avenue might be the Cobra museum, Bill.
You do need an old dog to help you out in Colorado
It is hard tracing history, and little steps sometimes lead to discovery.
With respect,

i got shelby from littelton also as they sold many shelbys
Had a yellow KR from there that was badly burned in a fire long ago.. :'(
Black Boss 9 we did back in 2012 was sold there. Seems like lots of interesting cars went through that dealership. I wonder if the family had any personal ties to Shelby or Shelby employees?
Pletcher Ford in Jenkintown, PA was a big Cobra/Shelby dealer. When they went out of business around 1969/70, Courtesy Ford bought all of their Shelby new car inventory plus some other vehicles. I attached a letter from Pletcher listing the Shelby Mustangs sold to Courtesy by serial number. They also bought Pletcher's remaining 427 Cobra inventory.
I also included a photo of the Pletcher showroom in 1967
Very cool Bill.
My 70 Gt 500 conv was sold there.
