    CARROLL SHELBY’S STORE ROLLING INTO THE SOUTHWEST WITH EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION ITEMS

    • New Carroll Shelby’s Store on Wheels will appear at Mid-America Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and LegacyTexas Bank Shelby Car Show in Plano, Texas
    • Store will offer exclusive limited edition merchandise bearing the famous Shelby marque
    • Trailer graphics and wrap designed by Ford GT head designer Camilo Pardo

    GARDENA, Calif. – June 9, 2014 – Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., (CSBI.PK) will debut their Carroll Shelby’s Store on Wheels with authorized merchandise for enthusiasts at the Mid-America Nationals, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma from June 11 - 15 and the LegacyTexas Bank Shelby Car Show in Plano, Texas on June 21. The new trailer will be a fan favorite with exclusive new special edition licensed products and a re-imagined visual treatment by former Ford GT designer and artist Camilo Pardo.

    “Shelby pioneered modern licensing programs in the automotive industry,” said Neil Cummings, co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International. “Beginning in the 1960s, he began licensing his name and designs for various products. This trailer is a continuation of that tradition by giving fans an opportunity to own authentic Shelby items.”

    Limited edition items are only available during trailer stops. The store will have an incredible breadth and depth of fresh, authorized products including memorabilia, an array of stylish shirts and hats and exclusive Camilo Pardo designed apparel items honoring the 50th anniversary of the Daytona Coupe.

    Mid-America Ford and Shelby Nationals is one of the largest Ford and Shelby meets in the country. The four day event will include the Tulsa Cruisin’ parade on Thursday, an open race track at Hallett Motor Circuit from Wednesday to Friday and a 50th anniversary 289 FIA Shelby Cobra on display at the Tulsa Marriott Southern Hills.

    “The southwest represents one of the largest fan bases for Shelby,” said Ari Kopmar, executive vice president of Consumer Initiatives for Carroll Shelby International. “Carroll Shelby spent a great deal of his life in the area. Having our new trailer at these two great events will give us an opportunity to connect with those fans.”

    After Mid-America in Tulsa, the trailer will head south to Plano, Texas, for the LegacyTexas Bank show. Aaron Shelby, Carroll’s grandson, and the Shelby family will host the event for all Shelby and Ford performance vehicles.

    Camilo Pardo’s stunning artwork on the trailer features a classic portrait of Carroll sporting his famous black Stetson hat and numerous iconic cars, such as a beautiful candy red Shelby Super Snake and a classic white Cobra. The designs are based on original artwork that he created specifically for Shelby.

    Carroll Shelby’s Store on Wheels encourages those who attend Mid-America Nationals in Tulsa and LegacyTexas Bank Shelby Car Show in Plano, to visit and enter their name into a kiosk for a drawing to win a personalized Shelby Varsity Jacket. The mobile store will also hand out free temporary Shelby snake tattoos while supplies last.

    Carroll Shelby’s Store on Wheels will appear at various events throughout the year. For information about its multiple stops, visit the Carroll Shelby’s Store website and register to receive news and product updates.
