Same with me. I was hoping this year would be my first, but just too much still going on.

Are all makes of cars welcome inside, or do they need to be old Fords?

Rev it up with hundreds of authentic vehicles from the 1890s through 1932 at America’s longest-running antique car show. Open ’til 9pm on Saturday night!

Tom, I am going to throw out a guess that probably one-third of the 800+ cars in attendance are Fords, and the rest are all other Marques. This year's featured car is Dodge Brothers.

So, the cutoff date is 1932.
That's the problem with buying these modern cars.

Ah Tom...you jerk my heartstrings with your Studebaker Champ...it was my Uncle and Aunt's 1950 or so spinner nose and wrap around rear window that fired the beginning of my affinity for the American Automobile. I may have to get this trip on my calendar next year too.

Brent, were you hauling around the group dressed in 30's style clothes and military uniforms last night? If so, I was right behind you for most of the evening and took some pictures of your gang that look like a Norman Rockwell painting.

When I get home and download it I'll post a few here...

What a great time, and great weather!

I saw James car, but no James all day, any idea where he's hanging out?

No that group is from western TN. There is like 20 of them and they take turns riding in that '29 Roadster. Yes, they are a blast to watch.

I actually brought two Model-Ts, ...that orange boat-tailed speedster and the Depot Hack that has Jonesborough Transportation Co. on the side. James Rogers was riding around with me some yesterday in the D/H, and last night I rode around standing in the back of his truck shooting pictures. We finally parked the cars at about 20 til 9:00 because traffic was moving so slowly. Geez what a crowd of people & cars!! What time did y'all stop driving?

BTW, did you see Tim Kelley & Jim Brand driving around in Tim's Model-A Town Car?


Tom, they do have an event here for your Studie called the Motor Muster however it is not as good as this event I am told. Your Phaeton would be eligible for this event as-is in its present condition.

Oh boy, I saw your speedster and told my wife that I'd like to build one of those, would be cool for events like this (wife rolls her eyes)

Do you know what wheels the guy in the low-slung red speedster was using? Looked like an "A" radiator and front end, but some smaller spoke rims, that was a cool one too.

I'll look for you later today

[markyb]

We drove until they kicked us out last night, parked over near the Grove to watch fireworks, not sure what we'll do today, If I don't find you, have a safe ride home

[Redneckstone]

We where there all weekend. Never have a problem with our car. On the ride home the clutch is either going out or horribly needs adjustment, looks like ill be busy this week to get ready for Gilmore.

It was another amazing year. Really cool to see a Town Car there ( first one I have ever seen in person) And a BIG congrats to jm29henry on winning first place in his class with his 29 Phaeton!!
