Mindblowing, Sears was a Shelby parts outlet... look closely at the catalog bottom half
Along with Mickey Thompson, Hedman, Holman Moody, they also sold Shelby stuff. Whoa.
Holley spark plugs?!?, that the M/T company was part of Holley? Both subsidies of Colt industries?.... hmmm
Holley spark plugs? That the Mickey Thompson company was part of Holley? Both companies are part of Colt industries in these ads... hmmm, something to look into.
Once you could get this supercharger option, 43% more power
In addition to building cars for Hertz, Carroll Shelby decided to treat himself, his secretary and a handful of his closest associates with a batch of specially developed GT350 Convertible's. Not offered for public sale, between four and six were made (all in different colours), the chassis numbers ranging from 6S2375 to 2380. However, whether of not 2379 and 2380 were ever completed remains a mystery. 11 GT350's were also equipped with Paxton superchargers during the 1966 model year, Paxton's Joe Granatelli having approached Shelby with the concept in early 1965. The idea was for a Paxton supercharger kit to be offered as an official option and Shelby lent Granatelli a '65 GT350 (chassis 5S425) for use as a development mule. The prototype was completed in July 1965 and Shelby was apparently bowled over by the cars performance. He went on to order 500 Paxton kits for installation by special request,

Lots of cool photos over at the HAMB, here's a couple from a thread about the history of Los Angeles
That is one great photo.
Very cool socket wrench holder! That's clever!
Craig Breedlove built the Spirit of America in his garage!
This is how many oil derricks there were all over Los Angeles, above in Brea, below in Huntington Beach, 1958
The first the time I have seen a delivery truck in use to deliver when new
Drive by banking?
that neglected rusted out wreck may not be too far gone, if you can afford all the replacement parts... here are some really cool ones from AMD
The light color parts are original, the black parts are AMD
Pretty cool!
Some unusual rare parts on this roadster.. I was told it's owned by the Lattin family, the Bonneville racers
the red pegasus was the trademark of Exxon Mobil from 1933 to 54.. these headlight eyebrow indicators are the first I've seen
written on the side of the car in the center of the steering wheel... "Hot Rod"
Pierce Arrow speedometer
The Veda Special knock offs? I've never seent hem before, but I speculate that they are from the Orr husband and wife Speed Shop, though a thread on the HAMB talks about Briz Bumpers and Orosco making repops. Veda set the Full Fendered Roadster record at 104.40 mph and later upped that to 114.24 in 1937. She ran 131-plus mph at the wheel of the Taylor-Blair modified and became the first woman to race in the SCTA.Veda published the SCTA News, and later started her own newsletter as a means of communicating with other racers; however, it wasn't long after its inception that WWII began and many of the racers found themselves in the military and on their way overseas. To keep spirits up, Veda distributed her publication to more than 750 service men all around the world for free and personally corresponded with hundreds as well.
