Form many years of going there, I deduce
-best to go early am. like 7 am, parking in shopping center across the street
(look for signs in case they changed their mind about letting show goers park there).
-it will be foggy in the am, then suddenly turn hot around 10 am
-If you want to photograph AC Cobras they arrive in a pack around 7 to 7:30 am followed by the replicas.
-Ford usually shows one concept car or prototype
-Mustangs will number about 300-500 including whole sections of Boss, Shelby, Saleen and Roush
--there are club booths in a grassy infield next to the restaurant
--I got a kick out of some Fords I rarely look at, especially the inventiveness of the Bronco group--some of whom have totally updated their steeds.

I'll be bringing some signed copies of
SHELBY The Man The Cars The Legend
COBRA & SHELBY MUSTANG Photo Archive
Ford GT40 and the new Ford GT
Look for me in the Ford GT row, jeans and black cowboy hat.

PS If you don't want lunch at Knotts and you are a visitor to SoCal, I suggest heading S. on Beach to ocean, turning right, parking in Huntington Beach near Main and Pacific Coast Highway and seeing a real beach town (it's known as Surf City). Lots of outdoor restaurants leading up from Pacific Coast highway within the first three blocks.
