Event Description

It’s that time of year again for the Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge, TN. Grease that hair back and dust off those poodle skirts. For lovers of classic cars, this is definitely a rod run you don’t want to miss. If you’re reading this, you probably already know about it and what it is. For those of you that don’t know about it and don’t have much of an interest in car shows or rod runs, then I highly suggest you do not come near Pigeon Forge between September 11-12

The Shades of the Past will take place on  (Friday and Saturday) in Pigeon Forge, TN. During the show (and the days before & after) the parkway will turn into a parade of rods, customs, and classic cars with people sitting in lawn chairs all down the strip. You could literally walk from one end of Pigeon Forge to the other faster than you could drive through all of the traffic. Husbands, if you’re coming to the rod run with your wife (who doesn't have the same interests) I suggest you drop her off early down at Five Oaks Mall in Sevierville. That should keep her happy and occupied most of the day while you’re at the car show.

Waffle House

Waffle House has a long-standing partnership with Richard Petty, featuring a custom Waffle House paint scheme on the No. 43 Ford. This connection to the racing world naturally bleeds into the broader car collector community. Waffle House is a staple for 'Cars and Coffee' style meetups. Because they are open 24/7 and located…
