Executives with Carroll Shelby International, announced that the Annual Las Vegas Team Shelby Bash from April 24-27, will celebrate a trio of important American performance milestones, as well as the American muscle car. In addition to automotive celebrities, track sessions and parties, the four day event will culminate with the Shelby sponsored “Make the American Muscle Car Great Again” show, at the Shelby American headquarters in Las Vegas.

“Sixty years ago, the iconic Shelby 427 Cobra and Shelby GT350 were unveiled,” said Joe Conway, Co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International and CEO of Shelby American. “A few months later, Shelby American won the FIA world sports car championship and is the only time an American car company has achieved this feat. We look forward to hosting fans at Shelby American, the home of American performance, to celebrate the anniversary of this trio of automotive milestones.”

Members of the Shelby family, Shelby executives, international guests and automotive celebrities are scheduled to attend four days of festivities in Las Vegas. Full-throttle activities during the annual event will include displays of Shelby vehicles, parties, tours, a poker run, scavenger hunt, car show and more.

The Saturday night Shelby American banquet will honor the 60th anniversary of the Shelby GT350, Shelby 427 Cobra and FIA Sportscar World Championship. Past celebrations have been attended by luminaries including Edsel B. Ford II, Bob Bondurant, Don Prudhomme, Allen Grant, Henry Ford III and Peter Brock. Presentations will honor the people who have helped turn Shelby into an international powerhouse.

For the first time in history, Team Shelby is inviting owners of all American muscle cars to participate in the Sunday car show. The Shelby sponsored “Make the American Muscle Car Great Again” will feature awards for various categories, including for the largest club in attendance. The public is welcome to see the show at no cost.

“Shelby is the only company to have worked with Ford, GM and Chrysler to create unbelievable sports and muscle cars over the years,” said M. Neil Cummings, Esq, Co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International, Co-President of the Carroll Shelby Foundation and CEO of Carroll Shelby Licensing. “While we’re exclusively building performance vehicles based on world-class Ford cars and trucks, we embrace the entire American muscle car culture. Everyone should join us for some high octane excitement during the Shelby sponsored ‘Make the American Muscle Car Great Again’ show in Las Vegas.”

Those who wish to enter their car in the show will pay a small fee, which benefits the Carroll Shelby Foundation.
