Team Shelby ventured out this year past its California roots to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, as part of the Carroll Shelby Centennial. We stopped by Lance Miller’s, home of the Carlisle Fairgrounds.

Shelby American and Hertz have been trailblazers since they were both founded. Hertz is the only American car rental company to reach 100 years in business and Shelby is the only American carmaker to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship. They made history together for the first time in 1966 when they launched the first “rent-a-race” with the 1966 Shelby GT350-H, which was also the initial vehicle in Hertz’s sports car collection.

As an employe of Shelby American for 22+ years, I have experienced some of the most awesome cars and trucks in the world. I am privileged to test and develop current models, while also design vehicles that we will manufacture far into the future. It is so fun to take my talent of seeing a design in my mind and then manufacture it for those that love the brand, as well as newcomers who have never experienced Shelby.
