Illinois is the fifth-highest populated state in the country. Although 65 percent of the residents live in the Chicago metropolitan area, the majority of the state consists of rural areas and small towns. In October there are annual car shows that attract many visitors to Illinois.
The city of Tontitown, Arkansas might seem like a sleepy little country town, but it's a real find if you're a vintage car buff. Every year this city holds three annual car shows that bring in like-minded hobbyists to show off their rides and swap hard-to-find parts so that collectors can finish beloved projects. All three happen in September, and every once in a while small side shows will come up throughout the year.
Many car shows are public exhibitions of collectible cars --- such as classic, antique or sports cars. They can occur regularly, once or twice a year. Held more frequently, car rallies or "cruise-in" events tend to be a more informal gathering of car enthusiasts. There is a variety of formal and informal car shows held regularly in or near Lebanon, Tenn.
Car shows abound in nearby Nashville and Chattanooga, but Knoxville, Tennessee has few in May. It may be the heat that keeps car lovers away, or simply that Knoxville is recovering from its heavy car show season in April.
Car enthusiasts traveling throughout Tennessee have a variety of car shows they can attend. Specialized shows focus on specific categories and range from military cars, Corvettes, and Mustangs, to customs and hot rods. Car aficionados can regularly find a car show in the big cities of Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. When you attend, do not forget to check out the car accessories on display and watch some of the product demonstrations. Another big attraction at some car shows are the swap meets, where you might find deals on cars parts or classic vehicles, which people are looking to sell.
