Title: Today, somewhere near Lynchburg, Tennessee...
Post by: smokie on June 21, 2009, 03:16:57 am: I was on my way from the Chattanooga Choo Choo to the JD distillery today when I happened across a car show in some small town. In case anyone is interested, I've stuck a few pics on Webshots. Dunno if they were all broken down, but they all seem to have the hood and trunk open (oooh listen to me, going all local)

Please don't bother asking me any details about what's what, I have no idea. But I expect Mr Brown will know.

I've enjoyed all the tales from LM. It's been good to be able to keep up to date. I'm having a great time out here, it's extraordinarily hot but I'm taking plenty of fluids ;)

Hope the link works... http://travel.webshots.com/album/573135237gYIHIE

I see you managed to spy a couple of Pontiacs in amongst that lot - and a TR6!

I wonder how it got its name....

What a coincidence that so many of them have broken down/overheated together. Also it looks like quite a few of them have sagging springs as they're sitting so low. While others have obviously been put together by people who don't know what they're doing as they are sitting far too high. I bet they never cornered well when they were working.
Just as well that someone has come along and painted some of them funny colours. Perhaps it's to warn approaching vehicles of the potential danger ahead.
If people just got rid of old cars and bought new ones instead, the American car industry wouldn't be in the state that it's in today.
Just doesn't make sense ???

This looks like a good little show with a lot of variety!
