FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 - SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW: FORD AND SHELBY CELEBRATE AN ALMOST 50-YEAR UNION WITH A NEW BABY

摘要

MARRIAGE IS RARELY an uncomplicated affair. Dalliances with outside parties have felled even the mightiest of unions, but the bond between Ford Motor Co, and Carroll Shelby has endured despite its share of acrimony and a two-decades-long case of wandering eye. In fact, the union has flourished over the past few years, so much so that the happy (and busy!) couple have spawned a whole clutch of cars recently, including the Ford Shelby Cobra concept seen at the 2004 Detroit show, the GR-1 concept from last year's show and an available-for-rent-soon-at-a-Hertz-near-you GT-H. They are now set to welcome the latest addition to their family, the production Shelby Mustang GT500.
