4,000 Hot Rods Roll Through North Escambia (With Photo Gallery)
June 16, 2022
Some 4,000 hot rods traveled through North Escambia Thursday, part of the country’s largest rolling car show.
The 2022 HOT ROD Power Tour participants traveled to the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds for an afternoon car show.

And, if you want to see the rolling car show for yourself, vehicles are scheduled to depart the fairgrounds on Mobile Highway about 7:30 Friday morning. Most will head north on Pine Forest Road, take Highway 297, continue on Louis Street to Muscogee Road, turn east on Muscogee then north on Highway 29 through Century and Flomaton to Highway 113 then I-65 on their way to the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

I seen these buetiful cars heading south on hwy 29north,it would be nice if they could bring them oldies back.they weren’t hard to work on,the cars now a days cost an arm and a leg to fix them.pray you all meet your destination to where y’all are heading,I wish I could have seen all the cars,I did see quite a few though.
We were part of the cruise driving the orange Ford F100 flatbed. It was wonderful seeing all the people out and nice to see how friendly everyone was.
So cool. Wish this would of been announced prior so we could of made plans to go see them at the fairgrounds!
Thanks for the heads up, N. Escambia. My wife, baby and I watched them roll past this morning. Refreshingly nostalgic expression of a much better day in American history than the present.
Those beauties sure bring back memories.
Still have a 1957 TAG # 9-20000 !
It’s nice that some folks care enough about the past to not let these autos just get crushed and made into razor blades.
We had the pleasure of meeting a nice couple from Oklahoma yesterday, driving a 1947 Chevrolet. What a Special couple and beautiful car. We hope all the participants are as nice. Safe travels!
Just think in a few years all internal combution engine vehicles will be obsolete and become antiques. The government will have everybody driving cookie cutter electric vehicles.
I was in one of the first ones,in mich.,about25yrs ago,it sure has grown since then
It’s so fascinating to see so many people having seen what they saw this article says there was to see
That green Cadillac reminds me of the movie ‘License to Drive’.
O, I wish they could come to my facility…I know my elder peeps would love to see them…. than would like a real treat for them!!!!! I tried to contact some people about doing a car show for at my facility, but no one contacted me back…I wish I could get them there!!!
I seen them today by papermill turning off of Hwy 29 onto Muscogee and then turning onto 297. It was cool to see would love to see more things like this happen. Beautiful vehicle’s
@Steve…..you’ll be surprised how little it costs to find old classics. I found an 1965 Corvair Greenbrier Sports Deluxe Wagon in Navarre for $5000.00. It only had surface rust, so very easy to clean up then new paint job. Spent little more to redo interior and a tune up. All numbers match. Really enjoy driving it around town and to car shows.
I seen them this morning. It was nice to see.
Love this!!!!! This would be so cool to see!
Nice seeing variety of vehicles from old to newer.
Just little too hot to stay longer and see all on display
Food trucks were cash only !!
I was getting gas at Chevron (atmore) this morning and seen about 7 of the cars pass by and I about dropped a gold brick when I seen them, this is awesome!
We left Brewton about one pm headed to Evergreen. We saw several dozen vintage cars on Highway 31 South headed toward Brewton. This explains it. There were antique cars, rat rods, trucks, mustangs, Camaros and other makes and models.
So nice to see these cars going by. One day they will be gone.
I can not afford one but even if I did, the gas prices are really putting a hurt on peoples wallet.
We just got to see all these fine car’s and truck come through our home town . What a beautiful day it was to ride . With all that’s going on in the world today this was awesome to see .everyone be safe out there. !
