The Last Shelby Cobra​

To my pleasant surprise, “The Last Shelby Cobra” was selected as one of three finalists by the Motor Press Guild for the Best Book division of the 2019 MPG/Dean Batchelor Award.

It’s an honor to be included as a finalist with renowned authors Don Emde, “The Speed Kings, The Rise and Fall of Motordrome Racing,” and Karl Ludvigsen, “Porsche: Excellence Was Expected.”

The MPG awards dinner will be held on Feb. 23 at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles. Ticket info is available at https://www.motorpressguild.org/event-calendar/mpg-awards/

For those in the LA area, Don Emde and I will be available for book signings at Autobooks in Burbank, CA on Saturday, Feb. 22 from 10:00 – 2:00 https://www.autobooks-aerobooks.com

I’d like to thank all who helped me with my first book: providing stories, photographs and proof-reading multiple times – and thanks to all who have purchased the book. I hope you enjoy it!

Enjoyed seeing Daisy in action on Leno last night, Chris!! She’s awesome!!!
I don’t know how to post the link but others can Google Leno 2004 Cobra and the show should come up.
 
I remember many moons ago trying to track down this Concept Cobra to see if it could be purchased and then discovered it at auction. I always wondered who won the bid. Glad the car went to the right person. Congratulations Chris. There was a company down in Australia, DRB making a body kit of this car DRB 540 that was based on a Falcon. Ordering the book now, cant wait to read.
