Carroll Shelby: An Interview with the Snake is a fascinating interview-documentary that offers a look back at the life and times of Shelby – a man who is quite easily one of the most important American automotive personalities of the 20th century.
Today we look at any car that wears a Shelby badge with immediate understanding that it’s going to be a quick car – possibly dangerously so. But when he first started out he was a retired racing driver with a heart condition and only a moderate amount of name recognition. What Carroll had was a combination of engineering ability, salesmanship, imagination and American gumption – and he quickly became the worst nightmare of Enzo Ferrari.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
