Shelby Identity Crisis

[Axlerod]

i just picked up this (what I believe to be a Shelby) and I’m having trouble finding info on it. The head badge rivets are spaced roughly 2 1/4” apart. The head tube is 3 1/2” tall. The serial number is 35798 with no letter prefix. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the crank is original it will have the date stamp on it, but that requires removal as well. Here's my 35 Shelby Flying Cloud, I'll also get a badge picture as well.

Thank you Sean. The crank has a 34 stamped on it. That ‘35 Flying Cloud is awesome. Do your serial numbers have a letter prefix or does it just have the 5 digits?

I guess I wasn't thinking about it at the time, but looking at the profile of your wheels and tires are they 28? I'll get back with you on the serial #.

Yes Shawn, they are 28” single tubes on metal clad wood rims.
