Hundreds of vintage beauties will cruise into the River
City July 12, 2014, for a day of festival fun in the heart of Point Mallard
Park. The annual Greater Tennessee Valley Antique Car Show has grown to be one
of the largest car shows in the region attracting collectors, fans, and
spectators from across the southeastern United States and beyond. Along with
antique cars and trucks, the event features a huge Swap Meet, live entertainment
and arts and crafts.
As spectators admire the antiques and mingle with the owners, live music
by Alaina Wiley and Elvis impersonator Michael Dean and arts and crafts provide
extra entertainment. The Swap Meet, popular with collectors and classic
automotive enthusiasts, features old parts and memorabilia and will be open
throughout the day.
Registration is $25 per vehicle and the first 500 entries will receive a
dash plague. This year’s prizes for exhibitors include a cash prize of $500 up
for grabs every 15 minutes starting at 12:15 p.m. until 2:15 p.m., four $1,000
drawings at the conclusion of the show, a Chevrolet 350 engine and four sets of
Chrome Wheels from Minor Tire.
The car show gets underway at 7 a.m. with registration and typically
wraps up around 3 p.m. Admission is free for spectators. Sponsors are Lynn
Layton Chevrolet, Family Security Credit Union, and Minor Tire and Wheel, and
event organizers extend a special thank you to Decatur Parks and Recreation for
allowing the Antique Car Show to be held at Point Mallard Park.
