Ford v Ferrari? Get the background story in a great Netflix documentary, Shelby American ...

now streaming.

You don't have to like racing (I think) to enjoy this bio. An interesting story on a one-of-a-king individual.

I thought the bio on Shelby was good.

Not a racing fan... but I remember hearing about the Shelby cars as a kid.

30 years at Ford. They did a great job on the Culture of Mahogany Row there.
I used a Henry Ford II quote all the time I worked there, "Don't complain and don't explain".

Loved seeing the GT 40's, plus the Ferrari 330 P4, most beautiful car ever built. It still runs and is raced.
