That's the Los Angeles Shelby American Automobile Club 14th annual Tony Sousa Memorial Car Show!
This September Show is one of the highlights of the year for the Shelby Club!
This year's show was quite unique because of the special location: Carroll Shelby's old HQ location in Gardena, California, and home of the Carroll Shelby Foundation, the Shelby Store, and Carroll Shelby International.
This site was Carroll's location in the early 60's for his Goodyear Racing Tire franchise, as he was named the West Coast distributor for Goodyear's racing products. As the facility grew, so did many of Carroll's projects...which caused the facility to grow into Carroll's late life HQ. Before Shelby moved in, the site was previously a junk yard.
But let's get on to The Show...
