The
Tennessee State Fair grounds are kind of embarrassing. The fault of years of mismanagement. It is hardly fit to hold a fair to show off
the best of the great State of Tennessee.
I wouldn’t think a great car show would be worth seeing here
either. This weekend I was pleasantly surprised
by the Hunters Auto Expo. Hunters is a
Nashville based custom auto shop. Want to
make your ride unique? Want to know what is out there for your car? It doesn’t matter
what you drive chances are Hunters has it.
The Auto Expo they sponsor is a great example of their diverse clientele. It doesn’t matter what your definition of
cool is, the expo has it. Custom trucks,
muscle cars, modern classics, and even some oddities are all parked next to
each other in an indoor atmosphere. It’s
a state fair for car guys. This blog I am
going to keep short and fill it in with images from this year’s expo and I will
be doing later blogs to go more in depth with some of my favorite cars and
stories from the show. As the summer
approaches I also promise to take you along for some of the trips I take this
year. Please forgive the pictures, I am no professional.

This is what I would have driven home in. 5.0 engine with modern wheels and brakes. A great daily driver. |

This Charger reminded me of the Panamera's interior. |

This car deserved a second look. Classic Camaro front and back with modern in the middle. Plus a Corvette power train. | | | |
