Stopped in and paid $5 per person to see what showed up. The weather was nice.

The paint and body work is superb:

No car show, especially in Georgia, would be complete without a General Lee.

There was a nice '68 Fury III in attendance and a very nice '38 Plymouth business coupe too. Sorry, no pics of those fine examples.
Edit: Here is a video frame grab of the '38 taken by Mrs DeltaV:

Now, for all of you folks that worry about the future of our hobby.
(1) There were lots of young children in attendance and gawking at the cars, but they liked the trucks and dirt bikes more.
(2) There were were lots of young car owners with recent vintage Challengers, Mustangs, Subarus, Hondas, and a couple of BMWs (M3 and M5).
(3) Young attendees (teens) were interested in the old muscle cars. Lots of gawking and talking.

Blue skies and cool temps in the swamp today. I was personally invited a week ago to bring the Roadrunner and my wife's GTO to the local Harley-Davidson dealership for their annual classic car show.
Cumulative lack of sleep for the last 4 weeks of post-op recovery for the ACL surgery one of my 3 Lab mix rescues had, combined with working late last night, home at 2:30 AM, and most of all waiting for the shop to take my car and get shiploads of stuff installed kept me home, tethered to the hound again...
I would rather her in the bed at night than her alone in the crate, but that means sleeping with "one eye open" and on leash so she doesn't "get brave" and want to jump off the bed. WAY too much time and money invested to have her hurt herself again.
Believe me, having 3 friends a year or so younger than me pass away in the last 3 years, I'm not the "I'll go next year" guy anymore.
Just boo-hooing on the forum because of DeltaV's post.
Carry on...
 
Looks like a Mopar won best of show today!

That is one RADICALLY COOL looking E-Body! I love the big FATTIES under the rear fenderwells.

The weather started out foggy this morning, but lifted around 10:30. Perfect weather for a car show. I'm going to guess there were 300+ entries.

A very large turnout of cars and people this year. Mopar A and B bodies were on hand, but I missed catching @1968cuda415 Mom's beautiful '72 Dart.

I didn't see any C or E bodies. :(

The silver '65 Satellite is absolutely gorgeous and is owned by a very nice guy here on FBBO. I did not catch his name.

The '70 Super Bee below is owned by the spouse of @Joe Palmer. Nice family...Maggy, Joe, Nathan, and Rusty. Rusty has a very nice Petty Blue '73 road runner project, but didn't bring it to the show.

FBBO member @LJR 70 was on hand with his red '70 440+6 4 speed GTX. Thanks for bringing it out before you sell it. Maybe I'll win the Powerball jackpot tonight!!!

That's @LJR 70 (right) in the background talking to @Joe Palmer (left).

The high octane restoration guys from Savannah were here again with their General Lee. Parked next to it was one of my favorite '71-'74 B bodies...the In-Violet '71 GTX below which I really like. I haven't seen a '71 GTX in decades.

A bodies were well represented too. I really, really like the fastbacks. Nice '69 with a 340. The orange twister was here in 2020 and he shows up at the local DQ.

This nice Duster is for sale; unspecified price. Not mine.

Send me a pm if you want their telephone number. They had it posted on a side window.

Husband & wife looked a tad older than me.

There were many Chevelle, Camaros, Mustangs, and an assortment of older Corvettes. Some were nice, but I didn't take pictures.

The cars pictured below are ones that caught my eye; and I thought some of you car guys would like to see them.
