Nevada’s only automobile manufacturer, 谢尔比美国公司., has traveled a long way from the early 1960s. That is when Carroll Shelby rented space in a California garage and forged a relationship with Ford Motor Company to create the legendary Cobra sports car. 今天, the company still builds Cobra sports cars along with a full product portfolio of muscle cars and performance trucks, but it has also solidified its position as a major tourist destination in one of America’s premier vacation cities — 拉斯维加斯.
