I have not ever planned a bike show but have planned a few other things. Six weeks is a pretty short burn time to get something planned and onto people's calendars. Especially if you want them to drive from further than the bay area, with the only reason being to show their bike. It would help to get some people/places like MMBHOF on the phone and aware of your event. You can put out the word through communicating with all the clubs like FATRAC or MBOSC, don't just share your post on their FB page, write the leaders.
Speaking as a mountain biker I'd like to see bikes that are special... prehistoric like the above Merz, innovative, or race-winning. That last category is probably harder because I think most such bikes are owned by the companies and displayed in their museums. I'd also like to meet people there who were active in the era, be they engineers or racers or team leaders.
