Headlining the return of Shell to the SEMA Show was the unveiling of the ’64 Shelby Cobra Coupe piloted to set 25 individual records during a Goodyear tire test in 1965 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. This year’s SEMA Show also happens to mark the 50th anniversary of the famed day and the reunion of first-time driver (Craig Breedlove), designer (Peter Brock) and the Cobra.
The event took place at the Shell SEMA Show space (booth #60005), which offers attendees a place to recharge and revel in automotive lore, as Shell hosts legendary and modern automotive personalities on its sound stage.
Show attendees can view a unique lineup of historical cars that helped mold the modern era of high performance. Shell’s 10,000-sq.-ft. displays bring a roster of industry experts, legendary automotive personalities and enviable vehicles. Special guests are scheduled to appear throughout the week.
