The Los Angeles County Arboretum had planned on this years event focusing on spyders but we do not have enough cars to fill the spaces. So we are asking for any interested cobra roadster owners to come play with us. I know it is a very late call but would like to get a bunch of factory five cars to come. This year it is only a one day event on Sunday Oct 6th.
There is NO cost to those coming and we include admission to two more people with each car.

Please PM me ASAP if you can come.

Spyders in the Garden
2013 Los Angeles County Arboretum
Invitational Display of
Pre 1975 Spyder Automobiles
In 2012 the LA County Arboretum held its first in garden special display of unique automobiles. The event featured Shelby Cobras and was called Serpents in the Garden. This year the focus will be Spyders or should we say Spiders. The event is designed to bring together two worlds. Seeing vintage classic cars set by themselves in a garden setting fascinates both the nature lover and the car-a-holic. The event even has a special challenge for kids. A scavenger hunt sends the kids looking for answers to questions located at each car. They then get a prize of a hot-wheels toy. Another one for the kids is a chance to have their picture taken (by their parents) sitting in a mini spyder car.
This year the event will be held on Sunday. Oct. 6th, the event is designed to appeal to a great diversity of visitors asking questions and area photographers finding the perfect angle to capture the essence of each car with the perfect background of the garden.

I feel so lucky to have done this event once, the opportunity to do it once again is incredible. This is a once in a lifetime event being able to have your car photographed in a setting such as this.

Dan/Frank,

I'm think I'm going to make this show! It was a real treat last year, and the 1-day format actually helps with being able to attend.

I'll send Dan a PM today confirming.

:)
