\"Shelby LAX\"
It\'s the second week in March 1966 at Los Angeles International Airport.
The Shelby prepared cars for Ford are being loaded onto the transporter, headed for Sebring.
Already loaded is the Ford X-1 Roadster #1 that will win the race driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby.
The #2 GT40 MKII is pushed out of the hangar waiting to be loaded.
Ironically Dan Gurney will push this car across the finish line at Sebring after its engine seized on the last lap while leading the race. Gurney and co-driver Jerry Grant were disqualified.The Shelby American LAX shops were a busy place in March 1966. After moving to the hangars on 12 acres in January 1965, Carroll Shelby produced some of the most memorable cars in automotive history. In this scene we see both 289 and 427 Cobras, the Mustang GT-350 and also waiting for delivery are a few GT-350H for Hertz. The LAX facility closed in November 1967 when the production of the Shelby Mustang was moved to Michigan.Reproduced from the original painting by automotive artist David Snyder, each of the 950 prints are signed and numbered.
The image measures 15\" x 34\" and is printed on high quality acid free stock trimmed to 20\" x 34\".

Framing
The choices for framing and matting artwork are endless. The style and colors of the frame and mat is a personal choice; and should compliment both the print and the surrounding. The best way to achieve this is to go to a professional framer. The framer will have multitudes of frames and frame styles to choose from,metallics, woods, and painted woods. The frame style can range from very plain to elaborate designs. We suggest at least a double mat-and the colors of the mat are limitless. Again, the mat color choices are personal preference. The framer will have color mat corners to lay on the print to show you how different colors enhance each print. Keep in mind the room decor when making the final color selections. Some collectors select the same frame, but use different color mats to suit the print. Others frame and mat all prints identically. There is no right way or wrong way, it is simply personal preference. Be sure to take the time to look at the different combinations available when visiting the frame shop. One method that enhances the art is to frame the print with additional objects incorporated within the frame, such as trim emblems or patches. Old dealerships and gas station memorabilia would also add to the interest.The prints framed with emblems are usually the first to sell at shows. Quality of materials is one thing that should never be compromised. The framer should be able to provide archival quality matting. This includes acid free matting and UV protected glass. Taking care to purchase these qualities will protect the value of the print for years to come. NEVER hang a print in direct sunlight. Sunlight and moisture are the most damaging elements to artwork.
Only 950 printswill be published from the original painting. Each signed and numbered print measures 18\" x 26\" and is printed on high quality acid free stock trimmed to 22\" x 28\".
