This was a must see while we were vacationing in LV. My husband is a HUGE ford mustang fan and an admirer of Carroll.
As you approach the speedway exit you can immediately spot out the ford buildings in their classic blue and white trim. Upon entering the museum you're just overwhelmed with various beautiful shelby's new and old.
We participated in the free museum and factory tour given only once a day at 10:30am which gave us a run down of Carroll Shelby's career racing history, his current state of health (the oldest living heart transplant patient), and his philanthropic heart. Our guide took us out back to where the cars were made.
The older classic shelby's (my favorite era) were gorgeous and valued up toward the millions. With less than a dozen guys working on these beauts they whip out about 100 shelby's per year with wait list's to build-your-own also taking years.
From there we went into a massive garage where the newer shelby's (husby's fav) were getting their final touches. Unfortunately we were a few weeks short of the unveiling of the 2010's. The tour was informative an interesting for someone like myself who doesn't know much about automobile's and their history let alone anything about the ford corp.
The gift shop was on the expensive side of the price spectrum but had some interesting gift items. Kids were allowed to attend the factory tour. i highly recommend it for that car enthusiast in your life.
