0:02
plethora and overload of classic
0:06
automobiles prepare thyselves so many in
0:10

0:13
count throughout the course of the day
0:15
an inundation of retro goodness from a
0:22
simpler era maybe even bring back some
0:24
of your fond memories
0:33
I'll be the first to admit I am not the
0:33
most knowledgeable when it comes to the
0:35
subject matter but it's not gonna stop
0:36
me from attending an event or at least
0:39
enjoying the view
0:46
how'd you like to cruise down the road
0:46
in something like this definitely a
0:48
conversation starter the best thing
0:50
about all this is all these old models
0:52
are parked right next to the current
0:55
modern-day ones just all wedged along
0:58
the Parkway
0:59
welcome everyone Adams the whoo here my
1:01
game plan today is no real rhyme or
1:04
reason just meander up and down the
1:07
streets of Pigeon Forge Tennessee I'm
1:10
gonna cover some miles to say the least
1:12
I'm inviting you to join me as I start
1:16
on one end of town all the way to the
1:18
other end cross over the median and then
1:21
back up everybody get it join me shall
1:27
you
1:34
I always enjoy the ones with the flames
1:34
going up and down the side of the body
1:36
Wolfie speed shop nice
1:48
68 Mustang I can safely say I could see
1:48
myself behind the wheel of this a lot of
1:53
them with their hoods up and are for
1:54
sale this is the right demographic and
1:56
the right clientele that are willing to
2:00
purchase some lowriders tucked away over
2:03
here this back portion pretty cool
2:09
very colorful
2:11
those with golf carts have the right
2:13
idea
2:18
get around very easily because traffic
2:18
through here is no joke
2:25
two fantastic items before me
2:25
it's interesting how I'm drawn to the
2:28
one that has kind of rusted out I just
2:29
love I love this type of type of items
2:34
no escaping this if you were here on
2:37
vacation not wanting to see classic
2:40
trucks and cars he came on the wrong
2:43
weekend
2:44
big E's rod shop presents the half-breed
2:57
conglomeration of vintage bikes surround
2:57
it and they next over parking spots this
3:00
one has a very rustic feel to it
3:10
nice the Sinclair dinosaur is
3:10
represented
3:16
back in this Aerith you needed a service
3:16
call you only needed four digit numbers
3:18
to dial it's written there on the back
3:21
all lined up for passer buying commuters
3:24
to take a gander at whether you're
3:25
walking or driving Chevy has a Barbie
3:29
doll
3:31
right back there on the bumper and this
3:36
thing's a piece of crap no seriously
3:39
that's that's what it's designated I
3:42
wasn't piece of crap over the ground
3:56
it was just noticing
3:56
those bears over there have a really
3:58
good view of the action
4:19
it fit a lot in this Chevrolet plenty of
4:19
room in the back behind the driver and
4:21
passenger seats
4:28
I'm also noticing some of these are not
4:28
only available for sale but also for
4:30
trade not the one in the foreground but
4:32
the one off in the distance who drives
4:36
that but I wouldn't be surprised if it
4:38
was someone by the name of geez I was
4:41
going to mention about the trade option
4:43
it's not always about the money
4:44
sometimes it's about just changing
4:46
things up a bit
4:47
someone's taken their mobile out of that
4:50
spot and replaced it
4:52
they were cones
5:00
you might recognize a familiar face on
5:00
the side of this one there's Mighty
5:03
Mouse to the rescue
5:06
more flames this one's also equipped
5:09
with a set of eyes there above the
5:11
engine
5:33
a 1930 model a 32 grand if you're
5:33
interested air-conditioning has come a
5:35
long way since back then that is what
5:39
this would have been a car cooler
5:44
thermador car cooler
5:48
so now they're right there on the side
5:50
of the window the owners are not only
5:52
here to show off what they have but also
5:54
to see what others are cruising around
5:56
and they have the chair set up here
5:58
right on the main drag
6:14
which one the mercury yeah
6:14
I like the lights are in the back kind
6:17
of futuristic at least for the time
6:19
being it was I could see myself in that
6:23
oh just thought you think a life scene
6:26
have a chrome bumper on the back of
6:28
from another nap thank look good
6:31
think I'd look good behind the wheel you
6:34
have this yeah
6:40
and alluding to what I was mentioning
6:40
earlier about the pretended dialing I
6:43
think that's what that is painted on the
6:45
side I'm glad they have these little
6:46
stands set up
6:48
I need something to wet my whistle it is
6:50
toasty out here costner bus line now on
6:54
the tail it says class of 38 but if you
6:59
peek more towards the front it says
7:01
establish 59 kind of confused
7:06
a rather large hat is driving I'm not
7:09
pretty I'm not fast but if it's fun you
7:11
want we could take the whole class
7:21
it takes some skill right there I don't
7:21
know if I'd be the one back in that
7:22
thing off
7:31
the Old Crow speech shop over at the gas
7:31
station
7:32

7:40

7:43
this like Lydia room I can almost see a
7:48
superhero in this
7:59
I'm starting to build up a little bit of
7:59
an affinity an aberration for these old
8:02
service trucks
8:04
I like the way they look
8:06
some serious throwbacks
8:11

11:31
familiar faces Woody Buzz and Jesse from
11:34
Toy Story Ironman a stormtrooper and
11:37
Batman and the Joker all just hanging
11:39
around at first I thought these were
11:41
teeth on the grill but they're just
11:42
flames that kind of made me think it was
11:45
a mouth
12:00

12:00
there with t-shirts the official events
12:03

12:16
the rear of the little red Express truck
12:19

13:40
something from above enjoys this one
13:44
there's a beam of light shining down
13:46
upon it and not only what's being hauled
13:48
is unique but also the the vehicle
13:51
hauling it is pretty interesting looking
13:54
as well
14:01
a few years ago I owned a van mine
14:01
however was not adorned quite like this
14:03
one was is that a gremlin yeah there you

14:10
look familiar don't want to tease too
14:14
much I show in the hoods up on these
14:17
without taking a gander into a few of
14:20
them so here there is a little bit of a
14:23
peek into three different versions well
14:29
that one's really clean if you look
14:36
closely up on the roofs are the
14:38
miniature counterparts to these
14:40
full-size versions see them up there
14:42
teetering on the roof lines ran into
14:45
another local resident no not the not
14:48
the vehicle Michel talking about you
14:50

14:53
the streets give me a rundown of this
14:55
event and Bekah over here don't try to
14:59
hide give me a rundown not of this
15:01
portion of the event this is shades of
15:03
the past I can't recall Becca is this
15:07
the one that is mostly fifties and
15:09
sixties or fits all
15:12
we got the grand broad prior to the 70s
15:15
then there's another one conference the
15:16
grand rod rush yeah no not anymore it
15:20
used to be the grand but they tore the
15:21
Grand Hotel down so now it's just the
15:23
rod rod now it's the Roenick in the
15:27
mountains rod run or something like that
15:29
but all of this is like kind of together
15:31

15:33
shades of the past retro Trek old-school
15:36
