Up in Davidson NC they have an annual car show with the catchy title of AmeriCARna Live Car Show. Hey, it's got CAR right in it! I'm a fan of cars and car shows, so I looked into this event before heading north, and saw that it is held on the campus of Trane Technologies. Yep, the Trane people that make home air conditioners. I've always liked their catchy slogan, "Nothing Runs Like a Trane." This is an ENORMOUS car show, so I'm just going to scratch the surface of cool cars that were there.

Spread over multiple parking lots around multiple buildings at Trane, there were cars, trucks, SUVs, new and old, rat rods, food trucks, live music, and just a great event with nice weather. Davidson is not too far north of Charlotte NC, so if you're looking for a great event on Thanksgiving weekend, plan for 2024.There were so many cars and trucks that mostly I just enjoyed being there, took a few photos, and didn't get a ton of info on what you see here.

| 1951 |
 |
| Willys |
 |
| 1974 Ford Bronco, even more of a classic since Ford brought back the Bronco recently. |
 |
| If you didn't like the orange Bronco, how about yellow? |
 |
| A big variety of cars on display. You've gotta love the pink Barracuda! |
 |
| Cadillac Coupe deVille |
 |
| 1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon. The name comes from the raised roof in the back, with extra windows up high, like a double decker train. It even has sun visors for the 2nd row passengers! |
 |
| Oldsmobile. HUGE! |
 |
| Early 30s Buick. Very nice! |
 |
| Hot rod |
 |
| 1973 Opel GT. There was also a silver Opel GT on display. |
 |
| Just over 103,000 sold in the US from 1968-1973. The headlights pop up with a manual lever next to the shifter. Opel GT trivia: the 2007-2010 Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice was badged as an Opel GT. It was built in Delaware for export to Europe only. |
 |
| More hot rods |
