Honk if You Think This Would Make a Nice Christmas Card
So, I spent a couple of hours on Saturday covering the 3rd annual Auto Fair & Swap Meet at Chantilly Farm in Floyd. To the tune of Mustang Sally and other classic car songs, I cruised the open meadows and graveled main drag viewing the stand-out restored and modern cars and trucks on display. I learned what a rat rod was, what a project car was and saw some cars as old and older (and better kept) than me.
Hosted by a couple who recently quit their day jobs to focus on their car restoration business, Chasing SS Cars, the popular event is poised to be another reason to put Floyd on the map. It reflects the long history of local car culture in the area and the diversity of interests and talents that make Floyd County what it is.
Another Auto Fair & Swap is planned for August 17 and 18th. Look for more photos in this week’s Floyd Press. Read more about the fair HERE.

OMG, Ozzie would love this. The second photo looks a lot like his ’29. Later I’ll ask him to tell me the year and I’ll give you another honk, honk.
BTW, We’re going on another car trip at the end of this month.

This is such a small sampling of what I saw. This event will get bigger and bigger and being outside, up on the mountain, makes such a fun outing. He should come to it some time.

That second picture IS a ’28 or ’29, Oz said.
The next show is in August, I noticed at the link you provided. That would be a fun trip!

I think the second photo needs some vintage editing and it would look amazing
