For this event, we brought out 5 great cars which show the evolution of NASCAR racing, and their importance in American racing culture: 1938 Ford Louise Smith Replica, a 1953 Hudson Hornet Satan of Morimar a 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS Mystery Motor ex Junior Johnson (courtesy of our friends at RK Motors in Charlotte), a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix ex Roy Tyner, and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird.;Although the pouring rain kept us from demonstrating the cars in the parking lot, it certainly couldn’t silence the engines. The crowd was treated as American V8 thunder echoed throughout the museum. It’s doubtful anyone in attendance will ever forget the sound of the Pontiac Grand Prix, which unofficially broke the record for the loudest vehicle ever to set foot on the museum property. There were thumbs-up and smiles all around from everyone.
