Dallas, May 22, 2008 – Installation of post title packages for Shelby and Ford Mustangs has gone into high gear at Quantum Performance Ltd., a factory Authorized Shelby Automobiles Mod Shop in the Southwestern United States.

Shelby Automobiles, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI.PK), has begun shipping “Super Snake”, CS8 and Terlingua Racing Team packages and components to Quantum, its third Mod Shop location to build high performance versions of current generation Shelby and Ford Mustangs for customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Oct 30, 2007 -- SHREVEPORT - Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco welcomed General Motors officials today as they confirmed GM will invest approximately $73 million into its Shreveport truck assembly plant to prepare the plant for production of the all-new HUMMER H3T. Larger than a truck, smaller than a full-size, the H3T is scheduled to arrive in dealerships by third quarter 2008.

After the announcement, the Governor ceremonially signed Act 1 of the 2007 Legislative Session, one of the incentives that paved the way for this investment. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Taylor Townsend and the Shreveport-Bossier Legislative Delegation, accelerates the manufacturing machinery and equipment exclusion for motor vehicle manufacturers.
