Bottling that Shine on Friday!

Car Show – Day 1     

Ponies In The Smokies, presented by National Parts Depot, brings you one of the largest Mustang and Ford car shows in the country at the Sevierville Convention Center from 8:00am to 4:00pm on Friday!

Sevierville Convention Center – 202 Gists Creek Road, Sevierville, TN 37876  

Enjoy two car shows in one with the indoor portion featuring four special displays:

  • The 62 Years of Mustang with one example representing each year of Mustang production.
  • The S197 Collection featuring many specialty models across the 2005-2014 model run.
  • The 1993 Cobra Collection featuring stock and modified ’93 Cobra’s.
  • The Convertible Showcase with the ever-popular pop-top versions of your favorite model.

The inside also includes vendors, merchandise, food, music and the main stage that will feature morning blessings, the National Anthem and Awards Ceremony.

Outside is a traditional car show with:

  • 43 Classes for ~600 judged vehicles
  • ~400 Display Only vehicles
  • Outside Vendors along the Manufacturer’s Midway
  • VIP Reserved Parking section
  • King of the Smokies Competition participant section
  • 5.0 Asylum Fox Invitational section
  • Convenient access between the outside surface lots and indoor exhibit hall
  • The same music and announcements are piped outside so the entire property is sync’d up

Friday is when the cars are judged so parking is assigned and organize by judged and display sections. For those being judged, when you’re car is ready put your show placard and blank judging sheet on the dash. Once a car is judged a colored circle will be affixed to the placard and the judging sheet will be taken. If you feel like it was missed find a PITS Crew member or judge to make them aware.

The Elite5 are usually winners of their class or choice award and are in the running for Best of Show Outside. If you believe you are in the running for the Elite5 please stick around and be nearby your car in the mid-afternoon as the PITS Crew is notifying the Elite5 typically between 3-4pm.

The King of the Smokies Competition Show and Shine begins at 12:00pm where competitors are judged under the same scoring system as everyone else but competing just amongst themselves.  Highest score wins this final segment of the competition.  Final scoring tally is revealed at Saturday’s award ceremony.
