Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge 2009

tom — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:16:16 +0000

This is a great little show that has been running for the last nine years. At least for the last year or so the event has been held at the Music Road Hotel and Convention Center. I like the venues where it’s close to civilization. It’s a good thing to have air conditioning, clean bathrooms and a decent restaurant that are not too far away. This year I was a little rushed because I was trying to get through with the Pontiac show in the morning and make a Mopar show in the afternoon, bad mistake for several reasons. Next year I’m bringing my chair, a cooler and setting up camp for the entire day on the neat little stream that runs next to the Pontiac event.

My lead picture is of Cecilia Carpenter posing with Robbie Lewis’s national award winning 2002 WS6 Trans Am. To get the full story check their post further down in the article

AMANDA and the LUTTERBLEs’ 1998 WS6

Amanda and her Dad were strolling around the show checking out all the show cars when I approached Amanda about posing the WS6. She said “Sure” which actually is a very refreshing, confident answer. Amanda is from New Market Tn. where she is currently a sales associate for Lowes but is heading back to the University of Tennessee this fall to work on her Accounting degree. Amanda told me she has spent many of her Saturday nights watching her Dad race at the local dirt tracks in east Tennessee.

Amanda: super cute, smart, loves AmericanCars and a Daddy’s girls, sounds like a great combo to me.

The Lutterbles drove their stock WS6 in from Harrison, Ohio. The car was gorgeous with not a speck of dirt any where I could see. They must have gotten there early because they had a prime parking space that was going to stay shady all day. Back in Ohio were the other two Lutterble’s cars a 1979 T/A and a 1992 T/A convertible.

TIFFANY and Big Brother BRIAN

It was a family affair. Tiffany, brother Brian, Mom, Dad, and Brian’s wife and maybe more all made their way in from Chappells S.C.. Brian was showing his beautiful 1999 30^th anniversary Trans Am convertible. Most note worthy about the car is that it only has 800 miles on the odometer. Also in Brian’s garage back in Chappells is a 2008 Dodge Challenger, 1973 Cuda, 2000 Trans Am and a R/T Dodge Dakota and a very tolerant wife. Brian’s has a collage degree in and is employed as a boat technician engineer. He said despite the economy his business was very good.

Tiffany maybe on the young side for the normal AmericanGirl but she was sooooo cute and Mom/Dad said it was ok. As it turned out Tiffany was composed and talented far beyond her years.

RACHEL AND THE BANDIT

It almost seems like a crime against nature if you go to a Pontiac event and don’t take some pictures and give some attention to a Bandit car. This Bandit car was impeccable and spotless. David Merritt and wife brought the T/A in from their home in Danville, Va.

Rachel was cruzin the Pontiac show with her Dad and boyfriend. Lucky boyfriend, he’s got a cute girlfriend that has a cool Dad. Rachel is a student at a local high school.

HEATHER and her Dad’s T/A

Heather is a contradiction: beautiful, sleek, lips to die for and yet when plays first base for her high school softball team. Pretty cool I think. Heather is pictured here with her Dad’s 1999 Pontiac Trans Am, Ram Air, WS6. Heather’s Dad was pleased with the T/A ‘s third place finish in its class of eighteen cars. After high school Heather has collage and a career in interior decorating as long range plans.

CAROLYN, DALLAS AND GTO

tom — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:12:21 +0000

I’m not sure who loves who or what the most but this is one happy threesome. The story behind the GT0 is that Dallas owned one just like the one in the picture when he was a young man and of course sold it. He later married Carolyn. At some point with VIN number in hand Dallas and Carolyn started a massive search for the original GTO. They never found it. So they decided to clone the GTO that they coveted down to the smallest detail. It’s a happy threesome so don’t tell the GTO that it’s not the original.

Three Duces ANNA Four Speed

tom — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:04:40 +0000

Unless you’ve heard Ronnie and the Daytona’s song ‘’Lil GTO’’ you will never understand my attempt at the humor here. Even those that have heard the song still may not get the attempt but if there is just one person who smiles I will feel that it was all worth my efforts. Anna came in for the show from Ashville, N.C. to support her grandfather who had a car at the show. Anna almost looks a little out of place at the Pontiac event in Pigeon Forge Tn. To me she has a Formula 1 race at Monte Carlo look going on. Actually Anna was a little shy but the girls with her cheered her on and she ended up hitting some very sexy poses

The 1964 GTO was the was the work of Dwight Banks and his son-in-law Vince Medford from Banks Restoration GTOs Only.

The sun was too bright and I was hot and tired and honestly missed most of the shots of Anna and the GTO, my apologies to all.

CECILIA CARPENTER and FIREBIRDS

So you think your into your car, well let’s see your tattoo

I usually don’t put the girl’s last name but Cecilia Carpenter is well known in the Fire Bird world especially in the southeast USA. Most recently she has an article and pictures in the 09/09 issue of High Performance Pontiacs about her life time love of Firebirds. Cecilia must have had modeling experience/training sometime in her life because she hit some sensational poses. Cecilia was also really, really nice.

ROBBIE LEWIS’s 2002 WS6 TRANS AM

tom — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:12:30 +0000

Robbie’s Firebird was the feature car in the 09/09 issue of High Performance Pontiacs and winner of numerous first place trophies including Best in Show award at the prestigious 2009 Wide Track Warrior Show in Orlando Fl. The list of the work done to make his T/A the special car that it is is not in the scope of this site. Just get a copy of the 09/09 issue of HPP or go to their web site and you’ll be amazed and impressed.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR READING PONTIAC’S IN PIGEON Forge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
