Thank you to everyone who attended our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary Special Screening at the Segerstrom Shelby Event Center. We enjoyed meeting all of you and celebrating Dean Moon and Carroll Shelby’s legendary collaboration. Our attendees were able to view an awe-inspiring collection of street and racing Cobras and high performance Mustangs at the museum and Hillbank Motor Corporation, a classic car dealership next door. The highlight of this cinema event was a fascinating discussion with Matt Stone, a respected author and the former Executive Editor of MotorTrend, and Doyle Gammell, one of the storied team who built the first Shelby Cobra at Moon Equipment Company. They talked about Dean Moon, Carroll Shelby, and the birth of the history-making sports car. To cap off the event, Steve Johns fired up the last Cobra produced by Shelby American—his 1967 King Cobra.
A heartfelt thank you to the Segerstrom Shelby Event Center (SSEC), the Segerstrom Family, Ted & Rae Segerstrom, Mike Kujawa, Alan Calgaro, and the entire SSEC team for all their support in hosting this exciting event. Thanks a million to Hillbank Motor Corporation, Shayna Stander, Ashton Stander, and the Stander Family for creating the best merch store ever, where you can buy your own Shelby Cobra, Daytona Coupe, or GT40. A special thank you to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Jim Orr for allowing us to use legendary photographer Dave Friedman’s iconic images of the first Shelby Cobra being built at Moon Equipment Company. And many thanks to our friends Vince Wong and Michelle Chun for their event support and our photographer friend Glen Tao for documenting this special event.
The celebration continues with an online screening of the film for the U.S. from Sunday, 11/17/2024 to Sunday, 11/24/2024. To buy tickets: craftofspeed.eventive.org
