Tony Sousa Memorial Car Show

Tony Sousa Memorial Car Show is returning for its 21st year with a celebration of Shelby history and one of American motorsport's greatest achievements! There is plenty for Ford and Shelby fans to sink their teeth into here. This year's show marks the 60th anniversary of the Ford GT40's historic Le Mans victory, giving the gathering a strong motorsports thread alongside the usual collection of enthusiast cars. That alone gives the day some real significance, especially for anyone interested in the era when Ford, Carroll Shelby, and an ambitious racing program went after Europe's biggest endurance prize and came home with the win. Organized by the Los Angeles Shelby American Automobile Club, the show also continues its longtime role as a memorial to Tony Sousa. Adding another layer to this year's gathering is a special tribute to Dave Friedman, whose photography documented some of the most important chapters in American sports-car racing and the Shelby American story. Between the memorial side of the event and the GT40 anniversary, this one feels as much about remembering the people and history behind the cars as it does admiring the machinery itself.
