The Shelby American (Fall 2021)

The SHELBY AMERICAN Fall 2021 22 Warren also found this ad in Auto- mobilia for models of all kinds. Pic- tured in the ad was a Ford GT40 from LeMans in 1968. Warren spotted this t-shirt ($24.50) on a website called Carpe Viam (latin for “sieze the road”). It is a page from the August ‘63 issue of the Mechanix Illustrated Cobra road test by Tom McCahill “Bare Bods and Hot Rods.” We knew Young would be all over this like cheap perfume on a ten-dollar hooker. Hard to believe The Rodfather of sexy car shows has been going on for 15 years. Young was cleaning out the glove compartment of one of the Mus- tangs he was selling and found this dash plaque from a car show over 20 years ago. We swear, the stuff just seems to stick to him. We learn something new every day. Like this: a minaudiere is a small, decorative handbag. Hutchinson spotted them in a Bulgari ad. Before you rush to get one to surprise the missus, consider the $3,950 price. Bulgari has made the serpent theme part of its leitmotif since the 1940s. There’s another word that probably wasn’t in your vocabulary. Bad Blonde Cars, a weekly radio show in Corpus Christi, Texas (1440 on AM radio) is hosted by “The Bad Blonde” – who apparently doesn’t want anyone to know her name. Aside from the radio show she posts a number of blogs about cars of all kinds. She claims to be the daughter of a mechanic. so there are always interesting cars coming through the door. One of her fa- ther’s cars is apparently a Cobra. There are not many details on her Insta- gram site. Another Ted Warren sighting.
