AmeriCARna Car Show Report

This Rat-Rod was awesome! Tractor front end? 4 wheels on the rear axle? Front and rear radiators? YEP!

Since moving to SC I've discovered the annual AmeriCARna show, and managed to head up the road and check it out again this year. An interesting setting at the corporate HQ of Trane Technologies (they do air conditioning "stuff," with "stuff" being a very technical description of their many businesses.) The Charlotte area is probably better known for being the home of NASCAR, the NFL Panthers (multiple wins this year already!) Lowe's, and of course Lance snack crackers, but Trane is a big company too. Let's look at some cool cars! There were a LOT MORE cars too, so look for part 2 in the near future. 

Classic Datsun

Hot rod 1932 Ford

Here's a great way to sell your car!

1932 Chevrolet Boat Tail Speedster!

This car show was in Davidson NC, just a bit north of Charlotte, so you can count on seeing some NASCAR  history. 

There I was just enjoying a beautiful fall day at a car show and then a Rolls Royce drove by!

Two Cobra replicas, commonly seen in blue. 

Porsche Cayman GT4 RS. This is a mid-engine Cayman that is the first time they've built a Cayman with the 911 GT3 engine. 

Volvo 1800

The white Ford Thunderbird with the Volvo 1800 made a great pair!
