The Shelby American (Fall 2021)

The SHELBY AMERICAN Fall 2021 14 Wait, Stop. Where Have We Seen This Livery Before? “ Watch This, Kid – And Hang On! ” Ford introduced the new Mach 1 model as a white car with a black cen- ter stripe bordered in orange. It looks pretty sharp but haven’t we seen that livery somewhere before? Almost every time someone does something incredibly stupid in a car, it’s when they are showing off. Ever notice that? You rarely do something dumb when you’re by yourself. Take Andrew Earl in New Zealand. He was trying to impress his 16 year-old daughter’s new boyfriend in his GT40 replica. He was recklessly weaving through traffic at high speed when he had to swerve into the slow lane to avoid an SUV. He lost control and hit the median barrier. The $250K car suf- fered about $30K in damage. He was cited for dangerous driving.
