I checked out a car show in Watkinsville, Georgia today. I was a spectator for this event, and parked in the lot with the other spectators.

As is frequently the case, there was a lot of nice machinery in the parking area that wasn't officially part of the show, including this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.

Another 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.

1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan.

Today's show was held along Barnett-Shoals Road outside of Watkinsville, Georgia. The building seen in the photos above and below sat behind the show field.

I've driven by this "old" property many times since I moved to Georgia in 2009, but never knew what it was. And after this show, I still don't know the answer.

The outside appearance leads you to believe that this is some kind of historic structure. But I don't think that is the case.

Either way, it's a great old-looking building that seems like an appropriate setting for a car show.

I made my way to the show field and spotted a Polaris RZR 1000.

An old piece of farm equipment.

I then passed by an M274 Platform Truck or 'Military Mule' that was used by the military until the 1980s. I've never seen one before and had to look it up.

The M274 is a 1/2 ton 4x4 platform that was produced by Willys from 1956 to 1970. It was primarily used to carry cargo, but could also carry personnel if necessary. A total of 11,240 were produced.

(L) 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, (R) 1936 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe. Both cars are well known in this area and are frequently seen at shows. The Gullwing, besides being a 7-figure car, is one of around 15 finished in Strawberry Red Metallic.

1952 Chevy Styleline DeLuxe.

The paint on this car was beautiful, and provided a good opportunity for me to take Todd's version of a selfie.

1966 Chevrolet Impala.

This car features the RPO L30 327 CID V8 that makes 275 hp and a 4-speed manual transmission.

The best thing about this car is that it has been in the same family since new.

A couple of nice Chevelles were next to the Impala. The blue car is a 1967 SS396, and the white car is a 1965 model.

Continuing down this row of unusual machinery. I've seen the Sir Rodent VW Bug at local shows in the past.

In addition to the "Sir Rodent" VW bug seen in the previous photo, I spotted a heavily modified mail Jeep, otherwise known as a Jeep DJ Series postal truck.

I don't know what the powerplant was other than definitely not the stock AMC straight 6-cylinder.

GMC and Chevrolet pickups.

1974 Pontiac Trans Am.

A row of Chevrolets.

1947 Ford 'Old S-Cool' bus.

The heavily modified bus features a 350 CID Chevrolet V8 and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission.

The traditional rows of front-facing seats have been replaced with long side-facing benches.

A beautiful 1936 Ford street rod. I love the stock appearance with modern mechanicals look.

More cars in the field next door.

1953 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door sedan.

This car has the 235 CID inline 6-cylinder that makes 108 hp.

Unlike a hardtop, this two-door sedan features a b-pillar post behind the door.
