Nashville, Tennessee
Get yourself and your favorite car to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. Plan to arrive by 2:00 p.m.
You’ll meet the rest of the group, receive your route book and important trip information, and enjoy special access to the museum. Lane will have special cars out for our group along with a tour of its collection of hundreds of unusual automobiles.
We’ll finish the evening at our hosted Nashville hotel with a musical theme and a group dinner.
Nashville → Chattanooga → Georgia
First driving day! We’ll leave Nashville and head toward Chattanooga using some of our favorite scenic roads.
Our friends at Coker Tire will welcome the group for a special experience including visits to Honest Charley Garage and the Coker Museum.
From Chattanooga, we’ll continue through small towns and beautiful scenery before reaching our overnight stop in the hills of Georgia. We’ll celebrate the first day on the road with a hosted dinner and plenty of time to trade stories.
Georgia → Athens → Augusta
Back on the road! Fans of bands like the B-52s and R.E.M. will appreciate our next destination: Athens, Georgia.
We’ll take the back roads into town for a hosted lunch at an incredible private car collection — possibly two — before continuing on to Augusta.
Our second hosted overnight brings another great hotel, another fun gathering, and this time, a little rooftop flair.
Augusta → Hilton Head Island
More fun roads, more roadside adventures, and then a famous Low Country boil on the water before arriving in Hilton Head.
After settling into the host hotel, we’ll attend a special VIP party and dinner. You’ll also have an opportunity to display your car.
We’re not telling you what it is until you get there.
Hilton Head Driving Tour
Choose from several activities during the day, including a crowd favorite: the Low Country Driving Tour.
Running from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the tour takes you through Hilton Head Island and the surrounding area alongside cars that will later appear at the Concours.
The day includes a coffee stop, hosted lunch, scenic roads, and plenty of Spanish moss.
Concours VIP Experience
Spend the day as a VIP guest of the Concours while joining the display on the golf course alongside hundreds of fantastic cars.
Great Race participants will be part of the judging, so you may even head home with a trophy. The day also includes a car parade in front of the crowd and hosted food and drinks.
You’ll have an opportunity to meet automotive personalities, including Dennis Gage of My Classic Car, along with other enthusiasts and special guests.
Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance
Enjoy VIP access to the main event: the Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance.
You’ll see some of the finest automobiles on the show circuit while meeting fellow enthusiasts and automotive personalities.
In the afternoon, we’ll gather on the show field for one final send-off and a special toast to the adventure.
Until Next Time
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, say goodbye to your new road-trip friends, and head for home.
