His company "Shelby American Inc"., founded in 1962, and currently sells "modified Ford" vehicles, as well as "performance parts".
Carroll Shelby has had an impressive impact on automotive racing and design over the last 50 years. Starting out amateur, he soon became a driver for the Cad-Allard, Aston Martin, and Maserati teams during the 1950s. Driving for Donald Healey, in a streamlined and supercharged, specially-modified, Austin-Healey 100S, he set 16 U.S. and international speed records. Teamed with Roy Salvadori, and driving for Aston Martin, he won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.

He obtained a license to import a successful British Sports racing car manufactured by "AC Motors" of England, installing an "American Ford engine" rather than its original British "Bristol engine", and introduced the car to the American public as an "AC Cobra", Later to be known as a Shelby or "Shelby Cobra". Shelby continued on to be influential with Ford manufactured cars including the "Daytona Coupe", GT40, the Mustang-based "Shelby GT350" and "Shelby GT500", and of course the "427 Shelby Cobra". Parting with Ford, Shelby moved on to help develop performance cars with divisions of the two other Big 3 American companies, Dodge, and Oldsmobile.
