2009 Shades of the Past Car Show
It’s that time of year again for the 2009 Shades of the Past XXVI car show in Pigeon Forge, TN. Grease that hair back and dust off those poodle skirts. For lovers of classic cars, this is definitely a rod run you don’t want to miss. If you’re reading this, you probably already know about it and what it is. For those of you that don’t know about it and don’t have much of an interest in car shows or rod runs, then I highly suggest you do not come near Pigeon Forge between September 9-13. The 2009 Shades of the Past XXVI will take place on September 11-12 (Friday and Saturday) at Smoky River Ranch in Pigeon Forge, TN. During the show (and the days before & after) the parkway will turn into a parade of rods, customs, and classic cars with people sitting in lawn chairs all down the strip. You could literally walk from one end of Pigeon Forge to the other faster than you could drive through all of the traffic. Husbands, if you’re coming to the rod run with your wife (who doesn’t have the same interests) I suggest you drop her off early down at Five Oaks Mall in Sevierville. That should keep her happy and occupied most of the day while you’re at the car show.
For those of you attending Shades of the Past Rod Run this year, you can get the official maps & entry forms below:

Hello
I’m a photographer for several car magazines. The best muscle car shots each year go in to a muscle car calendar.
Do you have a major vendor that could carry the calendar at your show? I don’t have enough “product” for a booth (just this calendar) and the Vendor Link didn’t work. I could include the vendor in the calendar, too.
Also, will I need media credentials to cover the event?
Thanks

Dear; Shaders of the past;
Me and my wife are both handicaped and will need to use electric wheelchairs , I will be pulling a u-haul trailer will there be a place to park close to the gate big enough to park my truck and u-haul.

Will there be a swap meet at the Shades of the Past?
If so, is it more for GM cars than Fords?
Are there going to be any celeb’s there this year, like you had Cindy Williams and Paul Lamont last year?

Just returned to our home from Shades of Past. It is a great show, but one drawback is portolets were not cleaned out enough and no water to wash hands. This is very unhealthy and is first year the hand washers were completely empty for most of the day on Saturday.
Hope this can improve for next year.
We are trying to get an entry form but unable to do so, the web site says its expired, the emails I have sent no reply, the packets from last year no form. PLEASE help before early entries run out. Gary
shades of the past-awh-those cars bring so many memories-i love to go-im from jasper tn-but my boy friend lives 6 miles from pigeon forge-and we plan on going to it this year–we just got back from the rod run-it was absolutly wonderful-we took so many pics-and i cant wait to share my pics with family and friends ~ cant wait !
I JUST FINISHED A 55 SEDANDELIVERY WAGON AND IM GOING TO DRIVE IT FROM FLORIDA TO PIGEONFORGE FOR THE SHOW
We have been really dissappointed the past few years that the old cars and trucks can’t even get out on the street to ’strut their stuff’ All the locals and new vehichles clog up the street after dark and traffic comes to a complete halt at some points. Sure would be nice if the main drag could be reserved just for the old stuff during certain hours. We are forced to stay parked when we would like to show off a little too.
I go to the show every year and me and my wife absolutely love it. There is a car for every hot rodder there.
What is the dates of the Shades of the Past car show for September 2009?? Thanks!
would like to know the dates of the 2010 shades of the past car show
