2026 Car Shows & Swap Meets Have Started with a BANG!
CABIN FEVER CAR & MOTORCYCLE SHOW - Knoxville, TN
On Friday Evening, January 9th, we headed to the Knoxville Expo Center and attended the Cabin Fever Car & Motorcycle Show. This was our first time here. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised with what we found!
The show went on Friday evening, all day Saturday, and most of the day on Sunday.
There were a ton of vendors and somewhere between 250 & 300 cars (we think at least).
These cars were packed in like sardines! However, there was a GREAT selection of cars & trucks to please any classic car lover (pre-2000 vehicles only).
OPINION - This show was well worth the $15 admission, especially here in the middle of winter. I am not much for an indoor show any other time of the year. But I am ALL for a show like this being inside in the dead of winter.
Good job to the folks putting this on!
TENNESSEE MOTORAMA - Lebanon, TN
Saturday, January 9th, 2026
The Tennessee Motorama is a combination Swap Meet & Car Show. Folks come to this if they are searching for parts & pieces for their hot rod project. Also, there are a ton of die cast cars, old car toys & memorabilia, as well as other items.
We believe the show this year might have had a few less vehicles than the last Motorama we went to a couple of years back.
We want to thank everyone that stopped and talked to us about our videos. In fact, we talked to a lot of folks that were “Facebook Friends” and actually spoke to them one on one. ALWAYS feel free to stop us and talk!
OPINION - Like the Cabin Fever show, this show was well worth the $10 admission, especially here in the middle of winter.
Good job to the folks putting this on! The same folks put in the two Redneck Rumbles that will be coming up, so we will hopefully see many of the same folks…and MANY more at the Rumble in June & September.

Who Are We?
We are Bill & Kristi from Crossville, Tennessee.
Bill posts as @MeanderingAcrossAmerica on YouTube (and you will see @GTMustangGal in many of his videos). Meandering also commonly shares classic car and car show posts to Facebook & Instagram. We post a lot of classic cars & car show videos around our home in Tennessee, but often have the chance to post shows we go to in other parts of the U.S.A., as well as videos about old stuff (think major yard sales & antique shops) and roadside attractions (think Route 66).
Kristi posts as @GTMustangGal on YouTube (and you will see @MeanderingAcrossAmeica a lot of the time in her videos). She posts mainly on the topics of cars & classic cars around our home in Tennessee, but she posts a lot of videos related to our love of cruising with Disney Cruise Line & Royal Caribbean.
See links at the top of page to easily access our YouTube, Facebook, & Instagram.
During the winter months, car show season is a little slow, but expect to see us at swap meets & shows in Tennessee starting in January.
In the meantime, we would like to video car, car show, & antique content in or near the Cumberland Plateau area of Tennessee. If you have a collection of cars, a bunch of old cars growing weeds, or if you have an antique business that we could video, feel free to email us at the email address below (meanderingacrossamerica@yahoo.com).
