Shelby Mustang GT500 Trio on a Dry Lake 0404-4889

Three Shelby Mustang GT500s running abreast across a dry lake bed, in red, blue and silver, each with contrasting twin stripes.

What Is in This Photograph?

A low head-on tracking shot, the ground blurred into streaks and the cars sharp. The red car leads in the centre with black stripes over the bonnet, a black splitter and a fully open lower grille, the cobra badge on the mesh. To the left, slightly behind, a blue car with white stripes and its headlamps lit. To the right a silver car with black stripes and a tall rear wing visible over the roofline. All three wear the deep front apron, wide front wings and vented bonnet of the current GT500, and all three run the same black five-spoke wheels. Behind them a flat pale lake bed runs to low mountains under a bleached sky, with shadows thrown hard to the right.

What Is the GT500?

The most powerful road-going Mustang of its generation. Ford Performance's supercharged 5.2-litre Predator V8 was rated at 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft, driving through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and Ford described it as the most power- and torque-dense supercharged V8 in the world at launch (MotorTrend, Car and Driver, SAE).

Why Shoot Three Abreast?

Because it shows the colours doing different work on the same shape. A stripe scheme changes how wide a car looks, how high the bonnet sits, how much of the grille reads as opening, and three cars side by side make that comparison in one frame. The blurred ground also does what a studio cannot: it proves the cars are moving.

About the Artwork

Artwork in this collection comes from the Ford Motor Company Archives, The Henry Ford Museum, the Carroll Shelby Archives, and the collections of acclaimed photographers and painters from around the world. Reproduction rights are reserved by the respective copyright owners.

Our framed prints feature a black, hand-stained solid wood frame with a white mat, museum-quality paper, archival inks, Acrylite glazing, and hanging hardware. The frame features a slim 0.8-inch face and projects 1.3 inches from the wall, creating a clean, contemporary shadow-box effect. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

Our stretched canvas prints are produced on acid-free, pH-neutral, and fade-resistant canvas. Each canvas is hand-glued to solid wood stretcher bars and stretched over 1.25-inch-thick pine bars. Mounting brackets are included. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

Our Giclée prints are produced using premium 200gsm semi-gloss paper and high-quality archival inks. Each print includes a white border around the perimeter.

For the 40 x 60 size, we use 250gsm museum-quality archival paper with an off-white, uncoated finish.

The listed size refers to the overall paper dimensions. The image is printed proportionally within the selected paper size. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

ChromaLuxe prints use a state-of-the-art coating process that infuses the image directly onto sheets of alloy metal. The result is photography with an exceptional combination of vibrancy, clarity, and durability.

Each print arrives ready to hang. An alloy subframe on the back allows the artwork to float away from the wall for a sleek, modern appearance. This is the finest-quality print we offer. Made in the USA.

All images are digitally restored before printing. Production location varies by product and destination. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
