He’s
a self-proclaimed “chicken farmer” who is known for his black cowboy
hat. He has raced Ferraris in Europe, won at LeMans, and broke land
speed records at Bonneville. After he retired from racing, he found
a way to shoehorn a small-block Ford V8 into the engine-bay of
sedate British sports car, creating a vehicle that would become a
racing legend and every driver’s dream ride. The cars was the
legendary Cobra. Its builder was Carroll Shelby, who will be at the
Museum on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 as part of A Night At The
Museum, held from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
A
Night at the Museum replaced the Museum’s annual fund raising
dinner. It’s a gala party/charity auction sponsored by RM Auctions.
In addition to a chance to meet Carroll Shelby, there will be
cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres and an opportunity to bid on a
special group of automotive items and “experiences” (e.g. a tour of
Jay Leno’s Big Dog Garage).
Tickets are $125.00 each and can purchased at
