Spent the day showing Papa's '67 at the car show at Dix Park. Also got to check out some beautiful classics... then wandered over to see the sunflowers. 🚗🌻

Turns out you're never too old to admire shiny cars, take way too many sunflower pictures, and pretend you're not sweating in the North Carolina heat! 😂 Life's too short not to stop and smell the flowers.

Still soaking in what an incredible day at Pettyfest!
I had the honor of showing Papa's '67 in the King’s Court, and to top it off, Richard Petty himself stopped to check it out and loved it. Truly a surreal moment and such a great way to spend the day!

Took Papa's '67 out to the Beans & Bumpers Chili Cook-off & Car Show yesterday and had a great time! 🚗🌶️

There were tons of beautiful cars, plenty of good chili to taste, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Even better than the cars and food were the great people we got to spend the day with.

Fun reminder that 6 7 is still alive and kicking... and the kids absolutely loved the car. Always fun seeing the younger generation get excited about the classics.

Days like this are what the car community is all about. Here are a few pictures from the show!
