COMPETITION: The 54th Annual Chattanooga O’Reilly Auto Parts World of Wheels Custom Auto Show, is produced by MotorSports Productions, Inc. The specialty vehicles coming to this year’s show include Hot rods, Race Cars, Custom Imports, Antique and Classic Cars, and Motorcycles PLUS Special Feature cars. This event is Chattanooga’s largest indoor custom car
show and enjoys participation by many local enthusiasts who proudly exhibit the vehicles they have been working on for many years. Plus, exhibitors from all across the country travel to Chattanooga to show their vehicles and compete for plaques and cash awards on a local, regional and national level. The quality and workmanship of these beautiful vehicles is truly amazing.
This event is sanctioned by the International Show Car Association (ISCA) and is judged by a professional staff brought in from two different states. In addition to the cash and prizes won at this show, many of these vehicles will accumulate points that can be used to qualify them for the national Championship where cash and prizes total over $100,000.00.
Gold Star “STREET” Competition is designed specifically for those who own street driven custom vehicles and want to show them, but prefer not to have the undercarriage judged. The Gold Star Street Series will be judged only on paint, body, interior and engine. Special Gold Star Trophies will be awarded to winners every class.
