These Pictures were taken at the 2002 "Ma Haney Days" car show at the Macon County Drive In Theater in Lafayette, TN. It was a very small and unorganized car show this year. The guy who had been running the show for the past three years didn't want to do it this year so a new guy decided to do the show. He had never done a car show before and only came up with three classes....Cars, Trucks and unfinished. Of course I didn't win anything but I did get lots of compliments.
It is amazing to me the number of people who have no idea what this car is. Several teen aged kids came by and looked. I usually got coments like..."Wow, cool car....what is it?" and "How much will you take fer it?".
Unfortunately, Mrs. Haney passed away late in the fall of 2002. I hope the drive-in stays around. Drive-in Theatres seem to be disapearing all over the country. In the past two years I can think of three that have closed down in the middle Tennessee area....just one more piece of Americana that is falling by the wayside.
(Oh yeah, I forgot...they also had a "beauty pagent" in the middle of the day and a dunking booth sponsored by the local high school cheerleaders. I love America) |
