Cars new and old, American and import are welcome at 5th Saturday’s meetups, which was a conscious decision by Pollard and the rest of the organizers to make the events more inclusive.
Cars don’t have to be expensive to be displayed at the meets, said Pollard. If you’re proud of your car, he said to feel free and stop by to show off your pride and joy to folks that will appreciate it in the same way.“A car show for everyone.” That’s what Scott Pollard wanted to create with the 5th Saturday Car Meet.
After two successful events, he’s looking for even greater success when cars from all eras line up Saturday, Oct. 29 at Journey Church, 1200 Mountain Creek Road. It will be a block party, Halloween event and celebration of the automobile, all in one.
The most recent car meet in June garnered over 100 gearheads showing off their pride-and-joys, and Pollard said he expects even more this time around.
“Other shows tend to be kind of segregated based on specific models or eras,” said Pollard. “We wanted to start a free show that anyone could be in that would appeal to all ages and groups.”
Pollard said he has been involved in the local car scene for nearly two decades. He’ll be showing his prized Nissan 370Z at the show next Saturday, but said he expects a good, diverse mix of imports, classic muscle cars and more.
