Tryon, North Carolina Rolling Art Antique Motorcycle and Car Show for 2018

Tryon Rolling Art Antique Motorcycle Show could not have had better weather.  On Saturday November 3, 2018 aboy 200 antique cars and 200 antique motorcycles came to downtown Tryon.

We had Harleys and Hondas and Huscavaras and Triumphs and Ariels and BMW and Suzuki's and Yamahas and Nortons and Indians and BSA and Bultacos and Ducatis

Lots of old bikes in Tryon, N.C.

As I was leaving on my 1981 Honda CB 750,
a guy sitting next to me on a Norton said, "Wow! That electric starter is a nice accessory.".  There were plenty of motorcycles at this show with no electric starter. An equal array of antique cars was on display.  There was Lamborghini, Ferrari, Austin,Packard, Studebaker, Boattail Riviera, 55 T Bird, Super Sport Chevelle, cool Jeeps, and lots of super cool trucks.

If you missed the Tryon Rolling Art antique car and motorcycle show in 2018, put it on your schedule for next year.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vZVHiFux20  Ride your bike to the show.  Tryon is a tiny little quaint charming delightful friendly town at the bottom of the steepest railroad grade east of the Mississippi, the Saluda Grade.  The railroad and the Pacolet River and  U.S. 176 follow the grade up the mountain to Saluda and Hendersonville.  This is one of the best motorcycle roads in western North Carolina.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2016/02/ride-your-bike-to-pearson-falls-on-us.html

We had old cars, old trucks and old motorcycles in Tryon, N.C. 

If you are coming to Tryon from Asheville, get off that nasty old Interstate 26 at exit 53.  Come down U.S. 176 from Hendersonville through Saluda to Tryon.  It is a fun, beautiful ride.  If you are coming from South Carolina, get off the interstate at Inman and come up U.S. 176 through Landrum into Tryon.  Join us next year.  Bring your antique bike or your modern bike, the one with the electric starter.  Tryon Rolling Art is a great antique bike and car show.

The Tryon Rolling Art Antique Car Truck and Motorcycle Show

     October 31, 2015 in Downtown Tryon, North Carolina was the Tryon "Rolling Art" Antique Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show.  I thought I would take my 1961 Harley Davidson Super 10.  Maybe I could win a prize.  I knew there was no chance of that when that 1927 Indian Four showed up.

Tryon Antique Car and Motorcycle Show was won by a  1927 Indian

There were over a hundred great looking antique cars and trucks and bikes at  The Tryon Car show in Tryon, North Carolina.  A Ferrari won for the cars.  A 1930 Ford Truck won for the trucks.  The prizes were decided by popular vote.  The weather was perfect.

     Thompson Garden Center donated their parking lot for the Tryon Antique Car Show.  They had the movie,"The World's Fastest Indian" playing on the DVD in the lobby .  If you are a motorcycle enthusiast and you haven't seen that movie starring Anthony Hopkins, check it out.  It is a super motorcycle, human spirit movie.

Any antique car show is fun.  This one seemed a little cooler than most.  There were lots of British cars including a 1937 Rolls Royce.   Antique car shows let you know how far automobiles have come since they were invented.  Here,in 1937, the finest car in the world was built with no heater.  That luxury Packard didn't look like much of a car compared to that Rolls. There were lots of Volkswagen.  There were a few rat rods.
