The president of Shelby American has commented on the company's relationship with Ford, suggesting that the current era without a new Shelby Mustang is part of a cycle. There are reports that Ford may have dropped the Shelby name from the Mustang to save money, with some outlets suggesting that Shelby American received a significant amount per Mustang. The company is still partnering with other entities to produce Shelby-branded vehicles, including Ford F-150s and F-250s.
