The SHELBY AMERICAN
Fall 2016 20
Doug Cresanta found this still-un-
opened CD at a local flea market in
Florida. Imagine listening to 20 coun-
try hits while cruising around in your
‘67 Shelby.
Eagle eye karma. Driving to Mid-Ohio
for SAAC-41, we were barely into town
when Colleen Kopec alerted like a re-
triever in the tall grass. This sign was
out near the sidewalk in front of a win-
dow tinting business in Lexington,
Ohio. It signalled that the convention
was off to a good start.
“
Just when I thought I was out...they
pull me back in
.” With apologies to
Michael Corleone, we thought we’d
seen the last of eagle eye Bob
Barranger. But it appears he devel-
oped a habit he cannot break. He saw
this Chubb insurance ad and his knee-
jerk reaction was to send it to us. It’s
going to take more than that to get
him back into the eagle eye wars.
Rod Hengst of Mertztown, Pennsylva-
nia spotted this Shelby-Williams office
chair on Craigslist. Shelby-Williams,
in Morristown, Tennessee advertises
itself as the leader in commercial office
furniture. Hengst said, “not sure this
is what I would envision had Shelby
and Williams teamed up on a F1 proj-
ect.” Stranger things have happened.
Tom Brumley of Findlay, Ohio never
expected to see a Cobra reference in
the magazine he was reading, titled
World War II
. Well, it was sort of a ref-
erence. The magazine article was
about German paratrooper com-
mander Frederich von der Heydte who
was wounded and captured by U.S.
forces after his unit parachuted into
the Ardennes in December, 1944.. He
was subsequently given the prisoner
number CSX157. Making Brumley an
eagle eye.
This 6-foot high silkscreened banner
was spotted hanging inside an en-
closed trailer at SAAC-41. The “Going
To The Sun” road is a spectacular two-
lane highway, 50 miles long, that inter-
sects Glacier National Park and
crosses the Continental Divide.
