Shades of the Past September 2022

“Our Family Serving Your Family”

If you are covered by a typical insurance policy, you may be paying too much and paying for the wrong kind of coverage. Standard automobile policies may not offer Agreed Value Coverage, so in the event of a loss, you will be offered a settlement amount (Actual Cash Value) less than what it will cost to replace your “pride and joy”. There’s more, standard auto policies don’t always give a price discount for the “care, custody and control” you give your collector automobile. In short, standard auto policies do not reflect an understanding of how fine collector cars are maintained and enjoyed.

However, we at Farris Insurance Agency Inc. can offer you an insurance program that really demonstrates the value and the uniqueness of your vintage or classic car(s). We can give you a better solution by working with experts who are collectors themselves. Grundy Worldwide, Hagerty Insurance and American Collectors, have been insuring these special vehicles for almost 50 years. We provide peace of mind protection to over 4000 car collector individuals and families.

Program Features:

• Coverage for individual cars and collections.

• Agreed Value Coverage.

• High liability limits.

• Unlimited “hobby” mileage.

• $0 deductible, NC has $50 deductibles.

• Prompt, fair claim service.

• Competitively priced.

• Excellent customer service. We have 30+ years writing collectors and collections.

It’s time to save some money, get a great rate on your collector car and have the “peace of mind” that comes from a job well done!

Millennials Take The Wheel Of Vintage Car Collecting, And It’s A Fun Ride

Traditions of the past are often abandoned by later generations.

Vintage car collecting—a hobby beloved by the baby boomer generation—will avoid a similar fate thanks to the much younger Millennials, a demographic posing an unexpected resolve to keep the passion alive.

Barrett-Jackson, an auction house that specializes in classic and antique cars, has seen the number of Millennial buyers increase an average of 48 percent every year since 2009, according to Craig Jackson, its chairman and CEO.

RM/Sotheby’s also has observed a similar shift. “We see the demographics of our auction attendees getting younger,” says Alian Squindo, chief operating officer of

the collector car auction house.

The annual Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week in Rhode Island held its first “30 Under 30” event in 2019, inviting young hobbyists under 30 that have spent less than $30,000 on their restorations to compete in a Concours class all their own. The resulting event was far oversubscribed.

Millennials Are Buying Despite Wide Misconceptions

“Many think of Millennials as young kids, but those born in the early 1980s are entering their 40s and they grew up during the tech boom,” Jackson said, citing Mark Zuckerburg as a prime example.

According to a 2019 report by Coldwell Banker, there is already a significant population of millionaire Millennials. Over the next decade the group will “hold five times as much wealth as they have today and are expected to inherit over $68 trillion from their predecessors.”

The report also points to a boost in the number of millionaire Millennials buying collectible and classic cars at the 2019 Monterey Classic Car event.

Yet, some still believe that Millennials lack the enthusiasm or predilection to

By: James Resnick, Carly Schaffner Contributor writers for Forbes

cars and car culture compared with the prior generations, going back to the start of the Boomer phase in the ’50s.

“Millennials, ridden with student debt, entered the job market during the Great Recession and were slower to purchase expensive new vehicles at an early age, unlike past generations, said Ryan ZumMallen, author of the book Slow Car Fast: The Millennial Mantra Changing Car Culture for Good.

“This was misconstrued as disinterest in cars completely and spurred the misnomer of a lazy generation that wanted to stare into their smartphones and live on the basement couch,” ZumMallen said.

A Changing Car-Collecting Landscape

Not only are Millennials participating in vintage car auctions, they are evolving the platform. The rise of online auctions is reshaping the collector car market. “These younger generations who are jumping in the market have grown up online and embrace evolving technology,” Jackson said. “Some have even pioneered this technology.”

Millennials have more online literacy and comfort with making purchases over the web, which is a stark departure from Boomer collectors,” ZumMallen said. They are also leaving the “old, static car show behind in favor of events that put driving at the center or feature aspects like live music or on-site camping.”

“Our landscape in the old car hobby is changing, but it’s not shrinking,” said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of insurance firm Hagerty, which specializes in classic vehicles. The growth of regional “cars and coffee” events and the number of TV shows dedicated to the hobby continue to its appeal, Hagerty said.

Restomods and Trucks

When Boomers came of age, they were limited to three collecting areas: prewar, post-war and American muscle,

ZumMallen said.

Millennials appreciate these classics, but they also reminisce about cars that they either drove as teenagers or aspired to drive. “There is a growing demand for domestic and import vehicles built between the late 1970s to early 1990s,” Jackson said. A 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo two-door hatchback sold for $20,350 during an online auction held by Barrett-Jackson in May 2020, setting a world auction record for the model.

Younger collectors also like to mix classic styling with modern comfort as is indicated by the recent boost in popularity of the “restomod” market. A restomod is an older vehicle updated with new amenities and technology such as fuel-injected engines and wireless connectivity. “We’re seeing great custom work with everything from Corvettes and classic muscle cars to SUVs and pickups, like the Chevy Blazer and 3100, Land Rover and Ford Bronco,” Jackson said.

An interest in trucks and SUVs also has caught fire among Millennials. Trucks used to serve a functional purpose for many different types of workers, but have evolved to target a broader, more status-oriented demographic that can handle a bloated sticker price. The older, more utilitarian trucks that have been properly maintained are now easier to find at a low cost and are ideal for customization.

Demand for custom and original SUVs and pickups from the 1970s and 1980s have been steadily rising over the decade, said Jackson, whose auctions have seen more than 50 percent growth in sales of first-generation Ford Broncos built between 1966 and 1977.

In a Hagerty valuation list of the top 25 Hottest Collector Vehicles for spring 2020, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 and FJ62, built between 1981 and 1990, was ranked at No. 1. The Jeep Cherokee, model years 1974 through 1983, sits at the No. 4 slot, and the first-generation Ford Bronco is No. 7.

Customization Goes Beyond the Car

The customized experience Millennials demand stretches beyond just the vehicle and the changing format of the traditional auction. The younger generation is taking a more experiential approach to car collecting.

Expeditions such as the Copperstate Overland (a rally for vehicles from the 1979 model year and older) and the Rebelle Rally (an all-women, off-road navigation rally) are providing platforms for owners to take vintage trucks and SUVs on off-road trips alongside other like-minded individuals.

“Millennials want to share their cars with other enthusiasts, both virtually and in the real world,” ZumMallen said. “The informal weekend group drive and Instagram-ready meet-up on a picturesque road are very much in style.”

Hot Rods & Classic Cars Meetup — Or, “I’m A Lonely Little Onion In A Petunia Patch”

By David Waterworth of cleantechnica.com

Tess went for a visit to a Classic Car and Hot Rod meetup this morning. I was a little wary about how she would be received, but I know the organizers and they assured me she would be welcome. In a field of muscle cars, Harley-Davidson bikes, and hot rods, she stood out like an onion in a flower bed.

After a slow start, we attracted some interest, and then it was two hours of nonstop questions and dispelling the decades-old FUD surrounding BEVs, explaining the differences between an HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and a BEV (100% battery electric vehicle). It included telling people over and over again how long it took to charge from a wall plug, a destination charger, and a high-speed charger.

The minimal cost of electricity and lack of a maintenance schedule impressed the cost conscious.

Many people took up my offer to sit in the vehicle and I enjoyed showing them the infotainment system and the

toybox. As always, fart mode was a great hit. I had to explain that they couldn’t play the Atari games, watch Netflix, or sing along to karaoke while they were driving. Yet.

It was a great morning, great conversations. I got to visit with the types of cars that I have owned in the past. A GM Holden Kingswood, a Ford Falcon. I even told the organizer how to deal with his generator, which had seized due to being run without oil. I hope my advice worked — I’ll ask him next month when I attend the next meetup.

History of

Who goes to a hot dog cookout with no hot dogs? And how did that give rise to a hot rod round up that is widely recognized as one of the top 10 hot rod events in the United States?

For the answer to the above questions, it all began in 1976 when Joe Bailey and myself, Tom Clark, went to a Knoxville street rod association sponsored hot dog cookout totally empty handed. We thought everything was

club sponsored. Boy, were we wrong!! So, having no hot dogs to roast, we quietly excused ourselves and went to a Western Sizzlin just a mile or so up the road. Over that meal, Joe and I decided to form a car club in Maryville. We contacted folks that we thought would be interested in a local club in Maryville and our first organizational meeting was held in J. R. Carnes garage.

Joe Bailey, J. R. Carnes, Carl Holmes and Tom Clark

By Tom Clark & Don Hutsell

attended that first meeting and are still active members 46 years later.

In meetings that followed, we chose the name “Shades of the Past,” Joe Bailey’s idea, and confirmed unanimously by the members. By-laws were approved and we were officially a club.

By 1981, we were ready to host our first rod run. Our first two events were held in Maryville. Both shows were

successfully presented, and gave us confidence to take a giant step.

By 1983, the Gatlinburg hot rod round up had ended. We decided to try to fill that void by hosting a fall event in Pigeon Forge. In 1983, we presented the Grand Run hoping to have 300-400 cars attend. We had exactly 1000 cars registered for the first Pigeon Forge show. We gave away $1,000 and chose the top 15.

The event was a great success from our standpoint. The city was elated by the crowd we drew and the business that was created. Most importantly, those in attendance loved the event and the word of mouth advertising was better than we could have imagined.

Over the next 26 years we presented our round up at 5 different venues in Pigeon Forge. Each move was made to enable us to present our round up to as many folks as was possible with the least amount of inconvenience.

In 2010, we moved to Dollywood’s Splash Country. Splash Country is by far the best venue we have enjoyed. The location, the facilities, and the very cordial people combined to further enhance our show. All of the folks at Dollywood that we have worked with have bent over backwards to accommodate us in hosting our event and it has been a real pleasure working with

them for the last 12 years.

Gene Scherrer, Kris Houser, Jordan Leach, Lance Ridley, Bonnie Hall, Janet Dawson, Mike Brown, Matt Young, Lynette Hill, Laura Howard, Jack Anthony the electrician, and too many others to mention have worked closely with us each year in assisting us with signage, utilities, providing temporary electrical services for the event, EMT’s, food service, site preparation, equipment, hotel reservations, providing trailer parking, crowd control, traffic control, and the numerous other requirements in putting on our event. Many thanks to Dollywood and Splash Country.

“I could go on a lot longer about our show from year to year but going through the exercise of putting my thoughts on paper, one thing became crystal clear to me. It was the people that I have met that stand out to me as the most important treasure that I would have never known, if Joe and I had not gone to a hot dog cookout with no hot dogs.”

My Hot Dog Heroes

James Long of Morristown, TN, has missed very few, if any, of our 39 round ups. Since the 70’s through the present day, James has built many of the best cars in our sport, and he’s still building outstanding hot rods 50 years later. We always look forward to seeing James at our show usually driving his dark blue ’50 Ford sedan. From the beginning, we have had the support of icons such as James Long and Barry Lobeck.

When I think of Barry, I remember the Gillette Motel on Airport Road in Gatlinburg. All the “Ohio” guys were around and they showed all of us hillbillies what a hot rod could look like. We have always had great support from the Cincinnati hot rod community.

Bob Oney has been to many of our events, always displaying an outstanding hot rod. Bob’s 3 window that was black with flames leads me to “Ohio Flames.” Ohioan’s Wade Hughes and Bill Roehl, creators of “Ohio Flames”, made their flames look right at home on many hot rods. Several of those flames proudly reside in East Tennessee.

George Poteet has long supported our event. He has displayed some of the best hot

rods ever built at our shows. He never hesitated to drive his masterpieces through the dust, the “tall” grass, or the mud. George’s presence at our events is very much appreciated.

Boyd Coddington was a long time friend of the “Shades.” His friendship with club member Bobby Alloway probably pre-dates the existence of the Shades shows.

I would like to share with you two events that show Boyd’s

kindness and generosity. Boyd brought “Chezoom,” a 1957 Chevrolet radical custom, to our show in the early 90’s. Late Saturday afternoon after much of the crowd had left, we see Boyd pull Chezoom out and drive through the hayfield in the very low and very expensive car. When he drove by, we saw his passenger was Josh Bailey, Joe’s son. Seems Boyd saw Josh, then 12, looking at the Chezoom. Boyd struck up a conversation, and a few minutes later they were leaving dust trails all around the site. That’s a ride Josh will never forget.

At another “Shade’s” show Boyd was looking at Travis Stalsworth, Jim’s son, just completed ’32 Ford 5 window. During the conversation bout the car with Travis, Boyd said, “your car looks great, but it needs a wheel upgrade.” So, Boyd takes Travis to his trailer and tells Travis to look at the displays and catalogs (and I must add that Boyd put no restrictions money wise), and

to decide what he wanted and he would make it happen. In both these incidents, Boyd simply wanted to reward and encourage these two polite and respectful young men.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to have several media members attend our event. The following three men are media giants and hot rod icons. Gray Baskerville, a well-known photographer and writer for Hot Rod Magazine, Steve Coonan, the creator of Rodders Journal, and Brian Brennan from Modern Rodding.

Brian is the driving force behind the “Triple Crown of Rodding.” The “Shade’s” are honored to have hosted this coveted award.

I also want to give special recognition to Leroy Maples who has worked with our club every year for over 30 years providing us and overseeing many reliable workers who assist with parking, event mugs and dash plaques, trash pick up, and the many other behind the scenes duties. To his credit, he seems to know everyone in the county and can make things happen quickly to resolve a problem when one comes up unexpectedly. Leroy has been an extremely important part of our event over the years.

Although everyone plays a role in the club, the person who deserves the most credit for allowing us to stay together and host our event for 39 years is Dan Draper, our “fearless leader”. Few people could have provided the leadership for all these years that Dan has shown. His diligence and dedication to having all bases covered

before an event, is evident in how smoothly each event goes. No problem ever comes up without Dan having a quick solution that satisfies all parties

There are so many people that we have become accustomed to seeing in Pigeon Forge in September at the “Shade’s” Hot Rod Roundup. Here are just a few that come to mind. “Chew” Miller, J. T. Payne, Jim Wrench, Jim Kirk, Henry Dana, and Meade Baldwin are no longer with us and are sadly missed. Usually found around Bobby’s trailer are true hot rod icons George Lange, Larry Olsen, Chuck Rowe, Van Tyler, Jack Sheperd and sadly missed George Long – better known

as “Rat.” Others that come to mind are Bob Welles, Phil Goller, Larry Rhodes, Tommy Shalcross, Mike Rutter, Kyle Watt, Jim & Sandy Boruff and so many more. Thanks friends, hot rod heroes one and all!

A word about club members. Since I have been here from the beginning, I want to be sure people know the characteristics of our membership. First let me say that each man in our club is a Christian gentleman. Also, all members are moderate, conservative men who love our republic. These 18 words sum it up pretty well. We all have found great pleasure in presenting our event for the last 39 years. We have been richly blessed, far more than we deserve.

Michael Sullivan- aka- The Reverend of Fat is excited to bring back “The Ring of Fire” to the Grains and Grits Festival- five chefs will encircle a large fire pit where a whole pig, lamb, chickens, and sausages will be roasted and served. Each chef will be paired with a distillery and will incorporate the distillery’s spirit into their dish.

This year, we are honored to have Chef Rubén García take part in the Ring of Fire. Garcia spent years in a 3-star Michelin restaurant, he appeared twice on Iron Chef as the victor and is now the Creative Operating Officer and Founder of UNFOLD Hospitality where he inspires new chefs and leads concept development with restauranteurs to help realize their vision and potential.
