Music, I hear music… Time to get up for work… no wait it’s a Saturday, “why is the alarm going off?”. Ahhhhh yes, it is the day of the Three Rivers Chapter car show in Eden, NC. Summer has arrived and so have the weekend car shows. We drag ourselves out of bed and get ready for another day of adventure.
We encounter a bit of traffic on I-40, it is Memorial Day weekend after all, surprising us as we are headed away from the beach. Eden is located north of Greensboro. The Car show was in the parking lot of the Tractor Supply Store. Upon arrival we are ushered into a spot # 46. More cars arrive after us. Overall about 70 cars were in the show. Our Avanti draws a lot of interest. Many, thinking it is a foreign car, are surprised to learn it originated as a Studebaker.
The day went on, it becomes hotter and hotter and the Tractor Supply Store began to enjoy a booming business. The judging was based on AACA Judging Al concrete-no shade. Our 1990 Avanti did receive a 1st place plaque in its class
