3 hours one way is just to much, thanks for the post.

 Yep. Love to go, but about 20 minutes into the drive...I'd be in agony.

I get it. After all, it's NOT mandatory everyone attends........................

I love a good car show.

The big car show and other things automotive is in Chattanooga this weekend.  The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival is today and Saturday.  Even having a 600 vehicle Mecum auction.  All kinds of cars.

Agreed. Cars and Coffee coming up next Sunday so I broke this one out in hopes of attending

1966 Charger. First year they were ever made. Engine is a 383.

 

Gotta love the gold interior! LOL!

Gotta love those old school trucks that are mostly stock.

[bobsguns]

This truck seemed to be a crowd fav. It certainly had the horsepower.

[bobsguns]

I liked this one just for its simplicity & orginality condition. Not too crazy about the Mad Max wheel nuts though.

For you kids, that's the starter button on the floorboard.

[bobsguns]

No show is complete without a '55 Chevy. Note the chromed hood hinges. 

[bobsguns]

I remember those gas caps well. Seems like AMC copied those on some of their cars?

[bobsguns]

Plymouth was well represented in the show.

[bobsguns]

[bobsguns]

This one was another crowd fav.

[bobsguns]

For you kids, yes, that's an AM radio. FM hadn't even been thought about back then & 8-tracks were still down the road. 

Love the exhaust mod as well.

An engine *I* had never heard of before. 5.3L GM  engine with a Detroit Diesel blower. I tracked down the owner to ask about the engine size & he explained he wanted something "different" after his last motor blew up on nitrus. LOL!

Cockpit is quite cozy. Looks like a temp sensor on top of the tach?

Didn't get to speak to this owner, sadly. I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person. Way cool design with the outside steps for reaching the top loaded luggage. 

[bobsguns]

Someone certainly had some imagination on this thing. Again, I didn't get to speak to the owner. I wonder what chassis he used?

Honda engine, mostly stock interior. 

[bobsguns]

Didn't see this owner either. I would love to know his investment. Has to be close to $100K. Custom paint, bumpers, decals, lights, winch, etc. 38" tires are probably close to $300 each, maybe more?

As a multiple Jeep owner myself, I like it.
