Organizations need "figure heads", I don't have a problem with that. I think it's great that Ford has recently recognized the Shelby connection with the recent new design on their prototype Cobra and REALLY recent NEW design of their GR-1 "Daytona Coupe".
I won't assume for a second that ol Shel had "that much" to do with either design, really. BUT, it's nice to acknowledge his relationship with the two marques, even if it is in a "figure head" capacity.
He's old man, with a terrific auto history. I belive "history" will be kind to him in the end, overlooking much of the "controversy" that surrounded him on occasion.
...and thats OK with me.
Just call me, "Captured by the spin" and grinning from ear to ear!
