  William Carroll, the author of the history book Tiger-An Exceptional Motor
Car, The Cobra Guide, west coast corespondent for Automotive News during the
1960's, and previous longtime owner of the white Shelby prototype Tiger died
on January 27, 2014, by his own hand. He was 98. In the Cougar photo(on FB),
Mr. Carroll is the gentleman in the white sweater on the driver side of the
car.

The last time I saw him was near the end of Tigers United  in 2010 in Santa
Rosa in the parts room when he came by my table to ask if I wanted to sell
reprints of his Tiger book for him. He looked in poor health at that time. I
learned about his death from a trustee for his estate after I sent a letter
to Mr Carroll to ask about selling more books.

This account is from my
obituary for William Carroll appearing on the Facebook Sunbeam Tiger page.
For a picture of Mr. Carroll taken during the  press introduction for the
1967 Cougar, go to the Tiger or Classic Cougar FB page.
