This spectacular watch combines it all . . . 1968 is my favorite year; this Carrera is one of my favorite Heuers; and the Shelbys are among my very favorite cars. And, of course, there is nothins like doing some research to solve a mystery!! A fantastic job researching this one!!

As a "quickie", I have added it here -- http://www.onthedash.com/logos.shtml#shelby This webpage needs some word and updating, and this watch may serve as my inspiration.

Thanks for all this!!

: Hi Guys,

: After many months of research myself and the Shelby's new owner
: (who is free to reveal himself :) have honed in on some
: excellent new information. We were contacted via one of the
: dozens of Shelby forums we had posted on, by the son of a former
: field sales manager for Shelby. His region was the Northeast of
: the US. The sales manager had told his son who now has the watch
: that the watch in question was one of two dozen that he had
: commissioned for the 1968 New York Auto Show. The 68 Shelby’s
: were introduced at that show. The Sales manager had picked up
: the watches from a Manhattan jeweller the day the show opened
: and the watches were given to Ford dealers and other VIPs at the
: show itself. I was also emailed a photo (albeit poor quality).
