To the best of my knowledge, Selig-Knippel Ford never sold any Shelbys. But they did have a famous owner. Selig Ford


The dealership that ruled the eastern part of Canada was without a doubt -Sud Automobiles. Sud Ford





Here are few more odds and ends. As I collect more, I will add pages. Hopefully, these items will make it to a full dealer page soon.
Maybe you have some history on these dealerships to share? If you need any of these items, please send me an email, they may be available!



Shelby # 1585 was originally sent to Ed Martin Ford in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was common for the Shelby franchise dealers to pass cars on to other dealerships. This beautiful GT500 is showing off down under in Australia.



Colonial Ford was in National City, California. They sold less than a dozen 1968s. It did include one yellow fastback.



Dockery Ford was located in Morristown, New Jersey. They also sold about a dozen Shelbys in 1968. This is the business card of the president, Robert Dockery. If you have been on the Shelby Club's forum you have probably seen Shelby # 212. It was sold new at Dockery. The old school phone number is a trip.



Buisness cards are cool. Shelby American employee, Dave Claassen, was a parts specialist for the parent company. Oh, what a neat job to have. Pass the superchargers please.



Hayward Ford in Hayward, California sold almost three dozen 1968 Shelbys. Would you believe only one was a GT500 KR?



Chet Monez Ford was in Fairfield, California and sold less than a dozen cars. Most of them were fastbacks. This frame has taken a little bit of a beating :-)



Sexton Ford is still in Moline, Illinois. You can stop by and get a new Mustang. I would guess this postcard is from 1970. Sexton Ford sold less than twenty 1968 Shelbys in the "Quad Cities" area. According to the Registry, they did have the distinction of selling a maroon GT350 fastback. Only three 1968 Shelbys were painted maroon.



Rankin Ford was in London, Ontario, Canada. Most of the twenty cars they sold were GT500 KRs. But, only one was a yellow car.



S & C Ford in San Francisco, California was one of the top three Shelby dealers in 1968. They sold well over a hundred cars, including many Hertz cars. I hope to have a full page on this dealership soon.



Larry has a knack for finding the license plate brackets. Russ Davis was a big dealer in California and if I recall correctly sponsored some of the drag cars.



Theodore Robbins was another Shelby dealer in California. Larry found this one.



East Point Ford was in Georgia and this is a very cool business card.



This original BJ Werner stationary popped up on eBay so I had to add it to the collection. It features the Shelby logo.



Greg sent me this license plate bracket from Bob Rice Ford in Idaho.



Dominic sent me this Pletcher Ford script. Pletcher mounted these below the rear bumper. The car is # 901. Pletcher Ford was located in Pennsylvania.



Bill still had this temporary advertising plate from Shelby's Lake Tahoe dealership.



Ken found this awesome picture of McCafferty Ford. They were in Trenton, New Jersey. Check out the funky flooring ! Now, that's 1960 goodness.



Reynolds Ford sold cars in Syracuse, New York. This one is below the rear bumper.



Horn-Williams Motor Company in Dallas, Texas sold many 1968 Shelbys.



Phil Phil Long Ford in Denver, Colorado sold several of the "special paint" 1968 Shelbys. I have located what appears to be the vintage 60's script.



McAnary Ford was in Gary, Indiana. Tim found this original plate for his car and it was never even used.



Courtesy Ford sold many Shelbys. It was in Colorado. Jerry sent this picture. I have recently found an original script as well.



Here's an original decal on the back of Dave's car.



Rice and Holman was in New Jersey.
