The black California Carroll Shelby / High Performance Motors 4101 Dealer License Plate with “1E” designation – 1E DLR 4101 has been reproduced for the Carroll Shelby / Mustang / Cobra / Racing fans who will appreciate its history.

Carroll Shelby was able to acquire both “manufacturer” and “dealer” plates from the California DMV. Carroll and a partner operated a car dealership, High Performance Motors, near the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) factory to where Shelby American moved after relocating from Venice, California. As a result of both businesses, Carroll would have been awarded a number of plates, both manufacturer & dealer types. In both cases the plates and the respective three or four digit numbers identified either the manufacturer or the dealer with a special number: “013” for Shelby American as a manufacturer, and “4101” for Carroll Shelby’s car dealership, High Performance Motors. The other designations on these special plates were simply sequential for the same manufacturer or dealer: as in 1A, 2A, 3A, or 2H, 2J, and so on. Since we have offered three different versions of the 013 manufacturer plates, it only seemed right to release a 4101 dealer plate for those who have patiently waited.
