Help me understand Carrol Shelby signature

[Marv S]

Ask the owner the how he got it signed. The practice has been that he will sign glove boxes, posters, etc if you make a donation to his Heart fund charity.

Herlita Navidad at his office cordinates this through items sent to them and at events where they have a booth set up.

The definitive answer:

Dan Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Dodge is a youth-years friend of Carroll Shelby. Close friends.

Back in 1994, you could buy a glove box door for $11. (Now, only the whole dash ! Dan, creative marketing guy that he is, donated to the Shelby Heart Fund, and C.S. autographed "about 100" glove box doors, with a magic marker. Dan sold em for $100.

C.S. attended VOI-5 and a few creative guys had the Viper FourFathers Carroll Shelby, Bob Lutz, Francois Castaing, and Tom Gale all sign blank doors. A few also asked Roy Sjoberg, adding the "Five Fathers" {I have two!) C.S signed a LOT that weekend !

Carroll Shelby is the most prolific autographer of this era! He raises hundred$ of thou$and$ for charity. He DID sit in my 1993 at VOI-2 and sign my glove box door, as well as my rear decklid spoiler (a rarity in 1995)

And NOW you know the REST of the story........

OK .... I've got one that even Jon B. can not answer ... "What is the meaning of life?". Ha! Let's see you answer that one.

One way to know for sure if his signature is authentic would be to check to see if it really does say, Carrol Shelby. If it does, it's not real. His name is Carroll.
