This year’s Landmark 5th Annual MOPAR Southern Classic Car Show
sponsored by Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep was the biggest and best ever.
Over 256 classic Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Imperial... and even a few
Jeeps entered. Parts and accessory vendors were boundless and just like
Alice’s Restaurant, you could get anything you wanted at this event.
And the weather was perfect!
Having outgrown the facilities at the
Landmark dealership, on Mt Zion Blvd in Morrow, this year’s event moved
to the big and beautiful Atlanta Motor Speedway venue in Hampton, GA
just about 20 miles south of the city.
Participants were treated to not only a great classic car show but passenger rides at 160 miles-per-hour-plus in the Dale Garret Driving Experience. Classic vehicles entrants were also allowed to “do a few laps” on the speedway track in their classics.
DJ’s from Project 9-6-1 kept the music at a pulsing pace, car clubs from all over the U.S. spent the day “one-upping ”each other with custom car tales. Food, fun, games, clowns and face painting for the kids rounded out the family fun.
Judging was tough and thorough, these cars got the once over, two or three times. Entries in 37 categories showed some of the finest vintage and current Mopars out there. Vendors and sponsors were in abundance too. If it was parts, accessories, trailers, or whatever, you could find it at this show. Man, it was somethin’.
So, what are the show promoters doing now that it’s over…why, already planning for an even bigger and better show next year!
