Title: theCoralsnake Updates!
Post by: Coralsnake on October 05, 2026, 04:12:28 PM
Over the last 25 years there have been over a hundred updates.

This quarter we update several dealerhip pages with some great reader contributions.

The Robert Loud page gets its official start. We are well on our way to one hundred dealership pages. In the past, only a few dealers were ever talked about.

The first ever pictures of a Shelby in the EFI program at Shelby American Engineering. No one has shared more on the fuel injection cars.

A story that should scare your pants off you, if you are not doing your homework. The forces of evil are working against us.

Robert Loud Ford displayed Shelbys in their showroom during SAAC 3 that was held in Pasadena. I had a 67 Bronco from there.
Loud had 2 locations along Colorado Blvd. The one you show was their new car showroom. It was in the historic 1927 Howard Motor Company building. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. The other was their used car and service department a block east.

Glad to help out with local knowledge.

The rear dogleg portion of the building (original 1930s service area) and rear lot is now a car/RV storage place. These seem to be cropping up all over the place for people who have too many collectables to keep them all at home.
