Critics Review
Preston Lerner’s [book] opens doors rarely opened before to see the man with all his warts as well as his genius.
It’s not the first to tackle the subject, but Lerner’s exhaustively researched and impeccably footnoted tome builds on what’s gone before to provide a complete picture that makes essential reading for fans of Ford and 1960s sportscar racing.

–Martyn Schorr “Car Guy Chronicles” (9/10/2022 12:00:00 AM)And within the book’s 300 pages is an authoritative (albeit accessible) style, mixed with the occasional wit of both his subject and - of course - Preston himself. The book supplies a great read, especially as your Shelby Mustang is taking its winter break.
–David Boldt “Car Data”If you want to learn about Shelby American, this is the text book.
–Rick Kopec “The Shelby American Magazine”Nonono, don’t roll your eyes. Another Shelby American book? Does the world need one? Yes, this one.
