Did the movie Ford v. Ferrari cret a new legion of fans?If so for what era?

[98SVT - was 06GT]

..... a con man, which Shelby was at times when he was getting the Cobra off the ground

and when he getting the GT350 through the SCCA - and when he was offering "just found" unfinished 427 chassis. - and when he built the Series 1 - and when he set up the heart fund - and when he set up shop in NV (that con ended up losing him his Coupe) - and when he sold stock - and when he sells Kirkham Cobras as "real" - - - -
I have a friend who is a forensic psychologist he says crooks are easy to catch because most future performance is based on past performance. They figure they got away with it one time so it must be a foolproof method.

Some suggest that he is a con. I prefer to think of it as charm. Texas Charm if you will.

Texas charm is the way I look at it.   

Carroll wasn't perfect or an angle.  None of us are but he's stamped his place in history and since I'm a car guy, a Shelby nut and........ did I mention the movie was pretty freakin awesome....... he's A-OK in my books.

^^ +1. 

If CS hadn't done his elaborate snake-oil sales job on Iacocca/Ford, there'd be no Shelby products for us to obsess over. 

I wouldn't want to live in a dreary, lifeless, Chevrolet world like that.
