Carroll Shelby advertising you've never seen.

Shelby rims... and tires? Never heard they were made! I bet if anyone has these they are highly prized!

Hope you enjoy these diversions from photography.

And for Team Shelby... yes I have the "Pit Stop" ad also: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-goes-to-show-how-far-greats-will.html
