The Heritage Center Museum is fabulous and chronicles and illustrates Carroll Shelby’s personal history as well as the birth of Shelby American and most of the vehicles that bear Shelby’s stamp on them. Of all the Shelby Stores, this is by far the grandest and best-stocked, not only with the expected hats, shirts and goodies, but also a considerable inventory of Shelby Performance parts. Staff on hand will help you select a set of valve covers, a supercharger, service install, or order up your new Shelby car or truck. Self-guided and guided tours are free: https://www.shelby.com/en-us/Shelby-...ge-Center-Home



Just make sure you take your time along the way . . . and enjoy the ride.
