On June 23 the Highway Earth Show is scheduled at scenic Franklin Park, 2600 Franklin Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210. Besides its scenic beauty this site is also famous for the opening title scene of the Andy Griffith Show where Andy and his young son Opie (Ron Howard) are heading to the old fishing hole.
The car show is the brainchild of Evan Klein, a Los Angeles based automotive photographer and dedicated car lover. He shoots for all your favorite car magazines, Motor Trend, Road and Track, Octane, Automobile, Hagerty, as well as new car manufacturers. Highway Earth came from his love for cars and wanting others to have a place to share their stories. When he’s not shooting, you’ll probably find him keeping his 1967 Alfa Giulia on the road.
