Title: Trip report: Shelby Heritage Display, Laguna Seca
Post by: SunDude on September 05, 2012, 16:49:29
The Shelby Heritage Display at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca raceway featured some of the most significant (and valuable) Cobras of all time.  I’m sure you’ve seen similar photos by now, but here are mine for those who can’t get enough.

I found a video on YouTube of the 2012 Heritage Display at Laguna Seca.  The still pictures posted are terrific, but the video gives a good overall view of many of the cars in the tent display, the car descriptions and the history timeline for the Cobra.  Thought this would add another dimension to the exhibit for those who were not there.
