The Davy Crockett Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) hosted its 14th annual car show on Saturday and Sunday at the future home of Mountain Mazda on the East Andrew Johnson Highway.

The event had been held prior to this year at the adjacent Lawson Chevrolet dealership, according to Phil Walther, the club's president.

"Lenny Lawson has been tremendous to us," Walther said of the Lawson Chevrolet co-owner.

Lawson, himself, had at least one car, a 1959 Ford sedan, on display during the show.

Walther said about 60 antique automobiles and trucks were on display on Saturday, while about 100 arrived for Sunday afternoon's portion of the show.

The show's entries featured everything from early 20th century automobiles, such as Ford Model A's, to late 20th century cars such as the 1958 Jaguar XK-150 OTS (open two seater) and the 1971 Jaguar XK-E sports cars that Gerry Mitchell, of Limestone, brought to the show.

On Saturday, Mitchell displayed the XK-150 sports car that he purchased in California in 1970 and towed across country.

On Sunday, Mitchell had on display his bright red 1971 XK-E 2+2 sports car.

Another car on display on Saturday was Bill Bradley's "sunfire yellow" 1966 Chevrolet Corvette.

Bradley said he purchased the car in 1967, and has owned it since that time.

The car, he said, features a 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine that was rated at 350 horse power and a four-speed manual transmission.

Also on display on Saturday was a 1936 Ford Cabriolet automobile owned by Dave Berry of Kingsport.

AACA President Walther said the antique Ford had a modern Chevrolet V-8 engine under its hood.

"The small-block Chevrolet engine has to be the eighth wonder of the world," Walther said, noting that a variant of the same engine introduced in the mid-1950s continues in production today.

AACA President Walther said Sunday cars from as far away as Ohio had taken part in the two-day car show.

Among the rarest vehicles on display on Sunday afternoon was the 1949 Dodge Power Wagon truck owned by Lance Klug, of Mosheim.

Klug said he had owned the white four-wheel-drive truck since 1990 when he purchased it from the local power company in Morristown.

"They had used it to set power poles," he said.

Klug said the truck featured a six-cylinder Chrysler "industrial engine" and a four-speed manual transmission.

Another rare vehicle on display was a 1952 Studebaker Champion four-door sedan.

Restored by Sam Quillen, of Kingsport, the Piedmont gray sedan featured rear doors that opened to the rear.

"It only has 38,000 actual miles," Quillen said of the antique automobile.

He noted that it had been kept in a garage or a carport for most its years by its previous owner, who was an elderly woman.

As a result, Quillen said, he had had to do little to the vehicle, other than to have it repainted and have its chrome trim replated.

"The interior is getting a little worn," he said, noting that the dashboard remained all original with all of its instruments still functioning.

Other vehicles on display on Sunday ranged from a classic British Norton motorcycle to a host of 1950s and 1960s automobiles, including Chevrolets, Dodges, Pontiacs, Fords and others.

Earlier automobiles on display included John Lingo's 1930 Ford Deluxe.
