Car enthusiasts from all over the United States, as well as Canada, attend this annual event. With the Shades of the Past show having been the previous weekend, many cars and trucks either stay over for this show or come in early to pick that ideal location along the Parkway to display their vehicles. We thought we’d post a few images for those unable to attend.
Thompson Carr Auctions and Cooper Events will hold an Auto Auction at the Sevierville Events Center on October 23.

We bring you a few photos of some early arrivals in Pigeon Forge for the 2010 Shades of the Past Car Show. Remember, this year’s show location has been moved to Dollywood’s Splash Country parking lot.
Row of classics ready for the 2010 Shades of the past car show
With this year’s Shades of the Past car show being moved to Dollywood’s Splash Country parking lot, The Resort at Governor’s Crossing is your ideal location. With The Resort being just 3.2 miles from the entrance to the parking lot via Veterans Boulevard, participants can miss the heavy Pigeon Forge parkway traffic.

The 28th Annual Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge will have a new location for 2010, Dollywood’s Splash Country parking lot. After many years of being located at Smoky River Ranch in Pigeon Forge, show organizers have moved to this spacious paved parking area. This move will eliminate the mud and hopefully much of the dust that show participants have annually battled at the previous location.
With the move to this location, The Resort at Governor’s Crossing offers easy access to the Splash Country parking lot via Veterans Boulevard. The Resort is located 3.2 miles from the entrance of Dollywood & Splash Country. Don’t waste time being stuck in traffic, the third stop light after leaving The Resort puts you right at the entrance.
This year’s show will be held September 10th & 11th for all Rods, Customs, and Classic manufactured on or before 1972.
