Shelby may have been referring to Edsel Ford having perhaps been involved with one of the primary precursor clubs to SAAC (remember, SAAC really started as a "roll up" of several pre-existing clubs). Someone may know the exact dates off the top of their head, but it seems like SAAC didn't exist as SAAC until about '75 or '76 (?)
