Charlie McHose

[Karguy]

After a recent and short discussion on the forum about 66 rear spoilers, I found this cool picture on line.
Chuck Cantwell confirmed that is in fact Charlie McHose. He is standing next to the 66 GT350 that SA let him use while he was hard at work styling the 67 Shelby's in the summer of 66.
Does anyone have information on the car in the picture or the story on the rear spoiler?

That is actually a 1965 GT350.   5S319.

I think there is also an older Shelby American with an article about McHose and this car

I wonder when/where the photo was taken. It looks too green for SoCal in the summer.
It was an En Nino year and SoCal did get 120% of average rainfall.

Pretty sure I saw this car years ago . That's a cool piece.
