If you've never been to the Pittsburgh VGP extravaganza, it is quite the celebration of cars and the people that make our hobby great.

Thanks for the links. I love auto show especially those vintage racing cars. I knew a bit about Carroll Shelby, an American retired automotive designer and racing driver. He is most well known for making the AC-based Shelby American Cobra and later the Mustang-based performance cars for Ford Motor Company known as Mustang Cobras which he has done since 1965. His company, Shelby American Inc., founded in 1962, currently sells modified Ford vehicles, as well as performance parts. And with these title, the boutique supercar maker,Shelby Super Cars, has recently settled a lawsuit brought by race legend Carroll Shelby. Because of confusion, the company has dropped the name “Shelby” from their title, becoming simply SSC North America. Read more here Shelby Super Cars changes name to SSC.
