This was interesting.

Shelby wanted to build his own car. His first attempt, which tried to marry an Italian body from Scaglietti with Chevrolet Corvette running gear, faltered when General Motors management nixed the deal.

Shelby could have been a GM guy.
He would have been. The last Shelby was part oldsmobile if I remember correctly.
