Roger Frazee Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 On behalf of the East Tennessee Region, I want to thank everyone who came to the tour. It was just a heck of a lot of old car fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 We came, we drove, we saw, we ate, drove some more, ate some more and really enjoyed one of the prettiest regions in the country. We had 143 vehicles from 1928 to 1990. Antiques, Classics, muscle cars, sports cars, foreign cars, American cars, restored cars, original cars, maintained cars, and even a few ugly cars. We went about 380 miles in 3 days. (Just over a one tank tour for our 66 VW Bug) We saw the Smoky Mountains, foothills, lakes, rivers, streams, waterfalls, farms, meadows, pioneer settlements, log cabins, barns, horses, deer, 6 bears, towns villages, cross roads, rusty cars, trucks, tractors, old farm equipment, and even a few hot rods. We visited the Bush Beans factory, took a picture with Duke, but didn't get the recipe, visited a muscle car museum, drove a mile high, saw a pioneer museum, some Cherokee Indians, a few red necks and heard a comedian at the banquet explain why we don't understand young people. We visited lots of small Tennessee towns and a few in North Carolina where people waved and gave us the thumbs up sign (The best one finger gesture)Our hosts didn't miss a thing, it was one if the best planned and executed tours of the tours we've done.We really like the 3 day format and would love to see your part of the country if your local group is up to hosting such and event. The East Tennessee Region of the AACA would love to share what they did and come visit your back roads, it's what makes the hobby fun.To those who came, you brought a fantastic car show. To those who arranged it all, we all thank you. In the end, I think the hosts had as much fun as the tourists, which is the way it should be.
