As a special bonus stop, the tour also visited the City Garage Car Museum in downtown Greeneville. Owner Kent Bewley welcomed the group into his incredible collection featuring both domestic and foreign automobiles ranging from the brass era to modern performance and luxury vehicles. The museum provided attendees with a memorable walk through automotive history and served as a highlight of the day for many participants.
Following the museum visit, the group departed Greeneville and enjoyed a relaxing scenic drive through the beautiful Tennessee coun- tryside and mountain byways before returning to the Host Hotel. The tour was filled with great cars, outstanding shops, new friendships, and appreciation for the craftsmanship that keeps the street rod hobby thriving. I want to personally thank each shop for allowing us to visit and to everyone who attended the tour. By the end of the day, partici- pants agreed the NSRA Street Rod Nationals South Shop Tour was a tremendous experience, and excitement is already building for next year’s event to be held May 7-8, 2027. Be sure to come in a day early and take in another great tour of the area’s builders and preservers.
