Posting this for a fellow SCAT member.
I have been asked by the Woodrow Wilson High School - Reunion Parade Committee to provide a few Shelby, Cobra or Mustang convertibles to carry a few dignitaries. Carroll Shelby will be the Grand Marshall for this parade and may possibly have his own ride? I will be participating in this parade with my little Mustang Convertible and like the rest of you would jump at the chance to carry Mr. Shelby, but that may not be possible? However, since he is the Grand Marshall this year, I hope we can round up enough cars to show our support for all that he has done for the hobby, our club and many of our club members.
Right now, the only information we have is the date, time and location of the parade. The date is Saturday, April 25, 2009, we line up no later than 9am, the parade starts at 10am and we are supposed to meet near the corner of Gaston Ave. and Abrams Rd. in the Lakewood area of Old East Dallas. As I get more information, I will let everyone know.
Do you know of anyone else that may have Shelby, Cobra or Mustang convertible that would be willing to participate. From what I've been told, you could be carrying a high profile graduate of Woodrow Wilson, a few of which are listed below.
Lawrence Write - Pulitzer Prize Winner
Davey O'Brien - Heisman Trophy Winner
Tim Brown - Heisman Trophy Winner
Carroll Shelby
Jack Evans - Former Mayor of Dallas
Dusty Hill - ZZ Top
Steve Miller - Steve Miller Band
plus many more....
Thank you for your time and please let me know if you can help.
