Event Coverage 45th Annual Chattanooga World of Wheels

The 45th Chattanooga World of Wheels is coming up on January 11-13. Our area has struggled for years without the traditional car influence that other parts of the country enjoy.

We are trying our best to change that.

Our car club will have a 6 car display this year to try and promote some of the ideas we ALL here on the Hamb agree on. We will have cars from TN, AL, and the Detroit boys will have a car and bike.

Anybody that comes to the show should feel free to come by our display and hang out.

Most WOW stuff is not Hamb friendly, but we are trying our best to change that too. One car person at a time....

I'll post pics as soon as we get there, and as the weekend goes on.

Stay tuned...

I'll do my best to make it - thanks for the info Kevin.

 

WOW didn't know this was coming up. We should roll up to hang with guys.

 

thanks for the invite Kevin but i'll be moved to Fl by then and will p*** the info around and see if any of the Greazie Hubcapz will go.

 

That sounds a little GAY, there Tony.

 

RATSTER, moving from Knoxville to FL?? WHY??? I'm trying to do the opposite. Want to buy a nice place in W. Central FL???

 

gent, why would you want to move to knox lol fl is awesome! were moving to Melbourne

 

i will come by to see you guys

 

One week til move in day.... I gotta get busy.

 

Regarding washing the Bridgeport; the consensus with my gearhead 12-year-old nephew, my perfectionist restorer 65-year-old friend, and the octagenarian T restoring legend was...

Well, you'll know at the show. No matter what, the weather is shaping up for a rinse anyhow. Unless somebody has an enclosed rig I can borrow

I feel guilty bringing the car in on a trailer -- it hates to be towed.

 

I really wanted to drive the wagon too...but 620 miles at 7 per gallon..not so much.I had a Long conversation with the promoter and he shares Kevins hatred of rat rods.He is very interested in the tradational aspect of these shows..we talked about the ba*****t in Detroit a bunch.Interest in our style cars will help having the chances of a tradational area in his shows...

 

I'm driving mine.

 

I'll be there. My move in time 12-1PM Thursday. I've never done an indoor show.

WooHoo!

 

We are moving in at 9am. I'm sure we'll be there most of the day, and easy to spot...

 

I'll be their on Friday

 

For those that have done this event in the past:

Is there a plan for parking our trucks/trailers at the convention center?

Looking foward to a big weekend of it.

 

There is a truck/trailer parking area beside the rear move in door. It's not very big though. They may have another area, but I'd be there early.

Just sayin'

 

Wish I could make it, but it just not going to happen. Thanks for the invitation.

The Ooltewah clan has several traditional rods & bikes here at the show - shown all together as one display.

They have a 'Mater recplica that's pretty good. It will be poplular with the kids.

 

Here's a few shots from yesterday while we were setting up. I'll get some better ones today.
