Shelby American: The Carroll Shelby Story

From humble beginnings working as a chicken farmer in rural Texas, Carroll Shelby exploded onto the auto-racing scene by defying expectations and claiming victories against top-tier drivers, culminating in his historic 1959 win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans while still wearing iconic "chicken-overalls". After years spent fighting health issues that threatened to derail his life, Shelby founded Shelby American and assembled a team of hot-rodders to build groundbreaking sports cars like the legendary Cobra. With his cars driven by racing legends, he cemented his legacy as the only man in history to win Le Mans both as a driver and manufacturer. His remarkable achievements remain unmatched, including victories at Le Mans over Ferrari and the prestigious World Manufacturing Championship.
