Carroll Shelby - The Authorized Biography

[427TJ]

I cut them a little slack, which I know isn't popular. If you had a name that other people made money on (and still others tried to make money on) you might be a little particular as to who got to make money off of your good name and who didn't. Remember, the Shelby cars came before the club, regardless of how good-hearted the people who started the club were and how pure their intentions were. Not trying to start an Internet argument, just (lightly) defending the unpopular point of view, namely Shelby's and Harrell's wish to control their name and its value. In business it's called defending your brand.
