One of the other threads asked how the Shelby program ended? Much has been written and incorrectly repeated in my humble opinion. I'm sure some competition from other Ford models was a factor. To say Shelby was not involved is inaccurate. Shelby was planning new models and new options right up until the end. This memo should help. It is by no means the only proof, because there are a lot of memos leading up to this decision by AO Smith. Without Smith's assistance, the program was scrapped.
