Ed Reavie drew automotive icons Carroll Shelby, George Barris, Zora Arkus-Duntov-Duntov, and more to a town in the middle of nowhere with a population of 2,000 and no traffic lights. His show grew to more than 3,000 show cars and 100,000 persons attending and included concerts with 16 of the top 200 acts of the 1960s.
