Fine Art debut features portrait Shelby Burbank June 30
Fine artist Wallace Alfed Wyss will be debuting his fine art portrait of Carroll Hall Shelby at Autobooks-Aerobooks,3524 W. Magnolia Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91505 during his book signing of his new book Ford GT40 and the New Ford GT Sat. June 30th from 11 a.m to 2 p.m.
The work , measuring approx. 12" x 15" , depicts Shelby in his familiar locomotive engineer's overalls behind the wheel of either a Maserati or Ferrari. His sponsor then was John Edgar. Shelby won a national championship in '56 & '57. The work is entitled "Texas Tornado" which was a nickname conferred on him by the press at the time.
The work is presently displayed on the net at http://www.ignitiongallery.com/photo2_1.html
"Too few writing about Shelby have explored his racing career , where he raced over fifty different marques," says Wyss. "I hope this inspires more interest in his driving career, before he ever built his first car."
