The 15th Annual Corbitt Truck Show and the 15th Annual Show, Shine, Shag and Dine are THIS SATURDAY, OCT 15TH in downtown Henderson.
Charles Powell, Curtis Paul, Kenneth Stegall and the entire Corbitt Preservation Association are proud to announce that this should be the largest show so far. Stegall wrote in a recent email to association members, “We will have vehicles here that have never been here before.”
Powell said, “John (Hedgepeth’s) military truck is going to be there. And we will have one of the racing Corbitts that used to be on the racing circuit. Some of the former drivers of the racing circuit will be there too.”
Stegall wrote, “It is the most amazing restoration I have ever seen. I am sure you will agree when you see it as well.” The Hedgepeth military truck is pictured in the flyer below.
“Richard Johnson Corbitt IV will be attending the show for the second time. There will be lots of reminiscing about the Corbitt company happening for sure with family and friends,” Stegall wrote.
Twenty five Corbitts or more are expected this year.
The Corbitts will be on display in their regular spot at the corner of Williams and Montgomery streets. The museum will be open all day as well at the corner of Church and Chestnut streets.
If you wish to donate to the museum, mail your response to The Corbitt Preservation Association, PO Box 74, Henderson, NC 27536.
