International Motorcoach | Hillbilly Surf Shop Rat Rod | Run for the Hills Car Show | My Classic Car

On this episode of My Classic Car, Dennis travels to the difficult to find Poplar, NC for Run for the Hills car show. Thankfully some great cars found it too, like a '51 Chevy "Hillbilly", a '50 Ford, 1927 International "Motorcoach", and a '51 Chevy Deluxe.

The '51 Chevy is the flagship of the "Hillbilly Surf Shop", and fits the setting, tearing around the hills of North Carolina and Tennessee. It's burly skin hides a clean engine. Priorities. Interior too, stately if also "surfy" and quite fine as opposed to the exterior barnacles. And wash it all down with a still in the back of "Hillbilly Nitrous". Cleaning it back up is the really well done '50 "Shoebox" Ford with an old school approach. Lowered on springs, chopped, shaved, with Volkswagen Cyber Green paired up with a luxurious tuxedo interior. Don't forget that nice wax job, beading up nice on a day like today. Looks good wet. One they never made, but it surely would look like this if they had, the '27 International Motorcoach is incredible! All of the period accouterments you'd expect on the cab and chassis, but with a hand crafted, stunningly Victorian mobile home interior surrounded by a completely hand built copper body. Again a period correct approach, as is the High-Wheel bike hanging off the back. Such an eye for design and creativity. A milder custom, the '51 Chevy Deluxe pops, with hand woodgrained trim accentuating its bright orange color. It's a static drop down to some low profile tires, so you can definitely feel the road. Dynamite interior too, and with a 350 Chev' motor you'd expect in this rod.

The Run for the Hills show is a bit off the beaten path, one road in, one road out, but the beautiful setting makes it all the more worth the hunt.
