What was Shelby's tie-in to the Tiger? Always wanted one of those.

I found something neat on todays local Sunday morning flea market. Couldn't even believe my eyes...this might not be something special for you guys in North America, but sure makes for a rare find over here, in the middle of Europe.

Besides being interested in vintage aviation, there is more to this cover of German Flugwelt ('Aviation World') magazine from March 1959 !
Take a closer look ! :002:

That's pretty cool. What country was the cover pic taken in?
Just a few years ago I found a "license plate"/dealer's name plate from my small home town of Acton, Mass....Anderson Ford Sales........the local Ford dealer there. I found it at a swap meet in Fort Worth, Tx!

Shelby always had his eye out for a potential new "toy" to develop. He also attracted interest from others who were looking at his "can do" mentality as a way to add some spice to their vehicles.

Rich, I was a little puzzled at first, but it is pretty obvious that the pic was taken in the USA, even though it is on the cover of a German magazine. The caption says: Midget racers pre start. Photographer Howard Levy
which is a pretty common American name and the plane to the front carries the N26C reg.# which is a North American (=US-registration).

cool story about that MA plate frame that you found in TX. Isn't it sometimes peculiar how that stuff FINDS US...?

Had to look for it, but I knew I had it:

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

"Isn't it sometimes peculiar how that stuff FINDS US...?"..................Yep.......downright weird sometimes. I'll tell a story on morning coffee about something I found in Missouri.
Joe, wow.......but that building looks totally unfamiliar, but that was 50+ years ago. Back when I lived in Acton, Anderson Ford was actually in the next town........Maynard, home of Digital. Sometime after I moved, they either moved to Acton or opened a second dealership there. That shot you posted, I cannot picture being anywhere in Acton, possibly Maynard. Any info on that pic/dealership? Common name, probably a dozen of them around the country. Thanks, Joe.

You are correct Rich: Anderson Motor Sales Ford, Slater MO, 1959

I knew I had the picture but never thought to research it.

Service department led by the Dalton boys?
