What’d we see at this past weekend’s Chattanooga Motorcar Festival? Pretty much all the greatest hits.
From popular classics to the extremely exotic–lots of Ferraris, too. Race and street. Brian’s Redman’s Targa 66 track experience was well received.
Saturday night, a motorsports who’s who could be found in the event headquarters’ bar: racers Redman and David Hobbs, personalities Donald Osborne and Bill Warner, collectors Tom Cotter and Luigi Chinetti Jr.
Beautiful weather on Saturday. Maybe a touch cool on Sunday but call it refreshing.
Mecum again sent a stream of desirable classics across the auction block.
And for a good cause, too, as proceeds from the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, Sponsored by Millennium Bank, support neuroscience research through Fifty Plus Foundation, Inc.
Forget the golf course. Forget walking through grass all day. The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival does it differently by setting up shop in downtown Chattanooga. Lots of Ferraris this year.
Porsches, too.
Something else a bit different yet very Southern: classic NASCAR machines, from homologation specials to cars that have tasted clay.
Cars from the Concours d’Lemons, possibly the world’s oddest yet very well loved, were also invited.
Something you rarely see: a 1957 Package Predictor concept, with this Ghia-penned special coming from the Studebaker National Museum. Time to build the body? Just 90 days.
You know it’s a party if David Hobbs is there. Tom Cotter and HSR’s David Hinton on his left.
Thanks for the write-up. I wish we had been able to go!
