I was in Las Vegas for the Gulf Oil Convention showing the Gulf Racing Fairlane and meeting with retailers who are interested in carrying my line of licensed Gulf apparel. After getting the car dropped off I had some time to kill so I headed over to the Shelby Heritage Center to check out the new location and say hi to the staff. Here are some photos from the quick stop in. if you are in Vegas its a great way to spend an hour, they also have free tours most days of the car assembly and work area and you get a little back story about the cars and history of Shelby American.
