Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains, is the home to many state-of-the-art car shows. The shows have much more than vintage, classic or rare automobiles, they offer new products and huge swap meets and a chance to mingle with like-minded people from all over the country. Thousands of automotive enthusiasts arrive in Pigeon Forge every year to attend one or several of the shows.
The Grand Spring Rod Run, Pigeon Forge, is from April 12th to 15th at the Grand Resort Hotel and Convention Center. It includes vintage models with added chrome and unique cars that have been fixed-up. Car lovers enjoy just looking at the thousands of cars that attend, but there are also cars for sale. Considered the greatest car show in the country, in the evening it has a seemingly endless parade of cars. The owners of the show cars which were on the parkway during the day, cruise up and down the strip after dark. The same cars that were on show are now showing what they have under the hood.
Every make, model and color of every muscle car ever made is brought to the Pigeon Forge show. The parts and accessories that are hard to find as well as parts for classic hot rods are sold by vendors. For those who want to ask questions about their cars and engines, the experts are there with the answers. They can help keep cars running well and help upgrade a car to something great.
The show starts at the intersection of traffic light number three and extends almost to the end of the parkway. Cars, trucks and other vehicles are parked on both sides of the road and visitors should park and walk up and down the street to see both sides. It's a great site to see Model Ts parked next to '58 Corvettes, or a '38 Studebaker Bus parked next to a '55 Bel-Air. Just like a car museum, the show has one advantage over a museum. The owner of the car will be sitting nearby and will answer any and all questions about their beloved automobile. There are also workshops available that are run by experts to answer technical questions about automobiles.
Participants can go to the official website to resister their car in the show. Without registering, cars can cruise the parkway and park on the side if they can find a space. Many people do this and put their cars up for sale. These cars are not eligible for awards and prizes.
The Pigeon Forge Spring Rod Run begins Pigeon Forge's three biggest car shows. The other big shows include Shades of the Past Car Show and the Fall Grand Rod Run.
In early May, the Yellow Mustang Car show is held at the Inn at Christmas Place. Participants must have a yellow-colored Ford Mustang. There are hundreds of bright yellow Mustangs that are loud and fast that arrive in Pigeon Forge every year for the show. Mustangs have their own shows in Pigeon Forge, and spring is the time for the yellow Mustangs.
Also, later in May, is the annual F-100 Supernationals and All Ford Show. It is open to all Ford vehicles including trucks, tractors and cars. The venue is the City of Pigeon Forge Municipal Lot. Sam Memmolo, who is the Voice of the F-100 Supernationals, is the host. At the same time there is a Chevy Classics Car show at the Inn at Christmas Place.
In early June is the Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge Car Show. For over 10 years some of the most beautiful Pontiacs have gathered at the Music Road Hotel. There is the fabulous car show and many other activities for the whole family. The hotel has a huge waterslide for cooling off, and the Dollywood Amusement Park is nearby with thrilling rides.
At hotels in Pigeon Forge, you can literally park your car and walk to see all the classic cars on the side of the street. To reserve your hotel room at Pigeon Forge TN hotels for the car shows, visit The Oak Tree Lodge.
