Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Carroll Shelby International Inc., (CSBI.PK), will showcase their
Carroll Shelby’s Store for the first time at the Monterey
Motorsports Reunion, held at the Laguna Seca track in California
from August 14 – 17. The store will be a fan favorite with
exclusive new special edition licensed products, including items
designed by former Ford GT designer and artist Camilo Pardo, who
will also be in attendance.
“This will be a very historic year as Carroll Shelby’s Store
makes its debut at Monterey Motorsports Reunion while the event is
celebrating the 100th anniversary of Maserati, a marque that
Carroll Shelby raced successfully,” said Neil Cummings, co-CEO of
Carroll Shelby International. “As Shelby evolved into a cultural
icon, the hunger for authentic branded items has grown. Bringing
the Carroll Shelby’s Store to Laguna Seca will give enthusiasts the
opportunity to take home some of that history.”
The store will offer limited edition items that are exclusive to
the event. The selection will include an incredible array of fresh,
authorized products including memorabilia, stylish shirts and hats
and exclusive Camilo Pardo designed apparel items.
On Saturday, August 16, Camilo Pardo will sign prints at the
Carroll Shelby’s Store, alongside his prized Ford GT. Pardo is best
known for his creative design of the Ford GT in 2005 and 2006; he
also designed the graphic wrap for the Carroll Shelby’s Store on
Wheels and special edition memorabilia. Now a freelance artist and
auto designer, Pardo is a contestant on Motor City Masters.
“Shelby has always had a special place in my heart,” said
Camilo. “I spent a great deal of time with Carroll personally while
designing the GT40. I’m honored to be invited to attend this event
and help continue Carroll’s legacy. I plan to drive my personal
Ford GT to the event as a tribute to him.”
Carroll Shelby was a world class racing driver before retiring
to build street cars due to a heart illness. Some of his most
significant victories were behind the wheel of Maserati race
cars.
“Maserati and Carroll have a wonderful history together,” said
Tracey Smith, executive vice president of Licensing and Media
Relations for Carroll Shelby International. “In December of 1960,
Carroll drove his last race in a Type 61 Birdcage Maserati, winning
the USAC driving championship for 1960. Our hope is that this car
will be displayed there, along with the Ford GT that Camilo owns.
Having the two of those vehicles at the track when we open Carroll
Shelby’s Store will be a great way to celebrate Shelby’s history
and future.”
The Monterey Motorsports Reunion is part of the Monterey Classic
Car Week, a prestigious annual series of events, held August 11-17
in the Monterey peninsula. The event attracts fans of exotic and
classic cars from around the world.
