Vintage car fanatics got a chance to drive their dream car down scenic roads, like the Natchez Trace, on Saturday during the Third annual Rally for the Lane fundraiser event for the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville.
Classic car enthusiasts were allowed to "rent" a vehicle from the collection of vintage cars at the Lane Motor Museum and drive that car to Columbia, TN and back, helping raise money for the museum.
The drivers will stop for lunch at at the Mt. Pleasant Grille before heading back to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville for a behind the scenes look at their rarely-seen collection of cars in the basement of the museum.
"It's such a neat collection of cars and how often do you get a chance to go to a museum and take the stuff out and play with it," Ed Krenz said.
Krenz traveled all the way from Wisconsin with his brother for the event. It is their third time participating in the Rally for the Lane and getting the chance to drive a vintage car of their choice.
"It's always fun to talk to other people at lunch and then at the end of the day and find out what their day was like too. I'm just enjoying the whole experience."
The money collected helps to defray the costs of owning, housing, restoring and maintaining the over 330 cars in the museum's collection.
"It is one of the most unique collection of automobiles that you will ever see," Franklin resident and vintage car enthusiast Doran Edwards said.
"There are some cars here that you will never see anywhere else in the world."
