           Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction in 2015 when Ron
           Pratte, who had bought the car in Vegas in 2008,
           sold his incredible collection. It was purchased by
           the Shelby family for their own collection of historic
           vehicles that were part of Carroll’s legacy. Talk about

           the cars he created rolls across the block. That spirit
           is perfectly at home among the bright lights and
           nonstop excitement of Las Vegas.
           And here’s to the next 100 years!
