Our Tour this year is almost 700 miles and the longest one day drive is only 230 miles, so we should have plenty of time to make any scenic stops that we would like to do. We have been told that the Ozark Mountains makes a great road tour. We will be in a different location every day except when we get to the Ft. Worth, Tex. area. For anyone who is interested, The Lone Star Super Nationals car show will be held at the Texas Motor Speedway April 28 – May 1 in Fort Worth, Texas. Our location will be in Bedford, Tex. at the Super 8, which is a short distance from the track. The manager of the Super 8 told me that this hotel has just been refurbished with all new furniture. The price is the best I could find since that is a big weekend in that area.
Three days may seem like a long time to stay at one show, but the Lone Star Super Nationals is a show that is comparable to the Auto Fair in Charlotte. You will not be able to see it in one day. I have been told that there are usually over 10,000 vendors at this show. And of course, being in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, there should be a lot of shopping areas for the ladies if they don’t want to go to the show every day. Keep in mind that this schedule is only a guide line and if you want or need to modify your travel plans, then feel free to do so. Those of you who are going on the tour and want to register for the Lone Star Super Nationals, you may do so by going to www.thelonestarsupernationals.com. Those of you who don’t have a computer and want to register can just call us at 423-571-6430 and we will send you a flyer.
Our goal with our Vintage Rod Tours are to promote comradery within VSRA, promote VSRA in different parts of the country and of course, see different parts of the country. So let us know if you plan on going by giving us a call and we will send you a 2016 Ozark Mountain Vintage Rod Tour sticker for your car.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL
Introduced in late 1966 for a short, single-year production run, the 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL holds a special place in the “Pagoda” lineage (W113 series) as the rarest variant, with only about 5,196 units built. Positioned between the earlier 230SL and the later 280SL, the 250SL…

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…
