Nearly 50 Shelby vehicles will be showcased in a special Shelby Snake Pit exhibit at the 25th annual EyesOn Design car show on Father’s Day, June 17, 2012 at the Eleanor & Edsel Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. 

Cars featured in the historic gathering will include a ’64 Shelby Cobra, a ’65 Mustang GT350 prototype, a ’66 Ford GT40,  a ’67 Super Snake Mustang, six Shelby Dodge vehicles including an ’83 Dodge Shelby Charger, a ’99 Shelby Series 1, and the ’08 Shelby GT500 Mustang movie car used in the “Knight Rider” TV series. One final addition is a Shelby Series 1 Titan motorcycle. The Snake Pit is presented as a special tribute to automotive legend  Carroll Shelby, who passed away on May 12, 2012 at age 89.
