Loris car show participants get access to rare antique auto collection

Most car collectors take their vehicles to shows.

Glenn Sledge’s collection is so impressive, that the car show came to him on Saturday, April 19.

As a bonus for entering their vehicles in the third annual Small Town, Big Show Car Show in Loris, participants were afforded a rare opportunity to visit what Sledge modestly calls his “Car Barn,” a pristine garage at his Willow Tree RV Resort in Longs. Tools and supplies to maintain a fleet of antique but pristine automobiles line the walls.

Outside the barn, the Loris Chamber of Commerce served red wine and hors d’oeuvres.

Inside, the guests could toast 19 stunningly restored vintage automobiles, including a large collection of 10 Model A Fords nearly a century old.

Sledge, 77, a Whiteville, North Carolina native, started collecting cars about 15-20 years ago, after he built the resort and campground.

The vehicles fill the interior of the expansive, climate-controlled garage, with about half of the collection elevated on lifts to form two vertical rows of autos in the single-story structure.

The Model A Fords aren’t, or at least weren’t, overly hard to find. Ford built nearly 5 million of them between 1927 and March 1932, after retiring the Model T after a 19-year run.

“It costs a lot to restore them, not to buy them,” Sledge said.

You could buy a new Model A for anywhere from $500 to $1,200 off the lot back in the day. The chassis would hold a variety of bodies including everything from a coupe and a roadster to a town car, taxi, pickup truck, delivery vehicle or phaeton, a car that had no roof.

Replacement parts are also still readily available from aftermarket suppliers.

“It’s like going to a dealership” back in the day, Sledge said of his Model A collection, with a wide variety of the Ford Model A on hand, including a roadster, a pickup, a town car and a convertible sedan.

In addition to the Ford Model A collection, Sledge has a 1931 Cadillac 370A with a V-12 engine and a rumble seat. The restoration was a four-year project.

The car was ornately appointed, with a hood ornament and lots of chrome, right down to the chrome oil filler cap on the engine.

“They were proud of what they did,” Sledge said of the manufacturers of the day. “It was designed to compete with the Duesenberg.”

There’s also a Jaguar, a Studebaker Commander, and a Volkswagen Beetle in the collection.

Three of the other Fords are 1957 models — a Thunderbird, a Continental and a rare Fairlane hardtop convertible.

Sledge said “1957 was a big year for cars; 1958 was terrible.” Sledge is a self-proclaimed expert on all matters involving older automobiles. He read his first issue of Hot Rod magazine in 1957, the year he turned nine.

Restoring and maintaining cars was once a hands-on hobby.

“When I was growing up you could work on cars,” Sledge said. In fact, home repairs were encouraged. The Model A Fords came with tool kits and instruction manuals for the owners.

Times have changed, with expensive diagnostic tools now necessary to identify many problems.

Sledge’s fleet can be repaired the old-fashioned way. His mechanic is Jeff Balding, a semi-retired Massachusetts transplant who bought one of the RV Resort’s campers and lives on the grounds with his wife Patty. He works about three days a week maintaining the fleet.

“Never thought I’d be doing this,” Balding said, who worked for John Deere repairing heavy equipment and noted he’s lucky to spend his spare time taking care of Sledge’s antique and classic cars.

The car show participants enjoyed a somewhat rare opportunity. It says “museum” on the side of the building, but access is limited. You can’t just walk in and see the cars.

If a resort guests knows about the cars and inquires, the doors can be opened on request, if granted. And, open houses are held on sporadic special occasions, Sledge said.

You also might see the vehicles being driven around the RV resort, or even see one of the more contemporary vehicles on a nearby highway.

The Model A Fords aren’t licensed, but can be driven on the roads in the privately owned resort, Sledge said. “The other cars in the collection” are licensed for the open road, he said.

“We take them out and drive them around,” Sledge said, explaining it’s necessary to run them to keep them in good operating condition.

Many of the visitors on Saturday drove souped-up hot rods, or more-modern classic cars or trucks. “People, when they get older, want the cars that they wanted in their youth,” Sledge said, lamenting a declining interest in antique cars of the early 20th century.

But he’s as guilty as the rest. Sledge’s first ride was a 1963 Pontiac Tempest, followed by a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass owned by his father-in-law.

Born in 1948, and part of the “Woodstock generation,” Sledge said the first car he paid for out of his own pocket was a 1963 VW Beetle convertible.

Now, his interests trend older, and are geared toward preservation instead of modification.

“I’m more interested in the cars as they came out of the factory. I’m interested in the preservation,” Sledge said.

The 2026 Clash will remain in the United States

The 2025 NASCAR season opened with The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. NASCAR has explored international options for the race.

However, for 2026, the race will remain in the United States.

“I think as far as next year goes, more than likely it will stay domestic here in the United States,” Ben Kennedy told NBC Sports.

“I wouldn’t ever rule out international in the future, though. We have thoughts about a lot of it being prior to the season, in the off-season, an exhibition race. It’s a great opportunity for us to bring NASCAR racing to other parts of the world.”

The 2026 NASCAR schedule is likely to be released soon.

On June 15th, the NASCAR Cup Series will race in Mexico for the first time. Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City will host the event.

NEED TO KNOW

  • NASCAR driver Christopher Bell met his now-wife, Morgan Bell, in 2010, and they married in 2020
  • Morgan grew up in a family of motorsports enthusiasts and now co-owns Bell Kemenah Racing with her dad, Brian
  • Christopher and Morgan travel together during the racing season and she supports his NASCAR career

Christopher Bell has been married to his wife, Morgan Bell, since 2020, and now they are starring together in Netflix’s Full Speed.

The NASCAR driver has been one of the biggest names in the sport, and throughout his career, he’s had Morgan by his side. He first met her in 2010, when they were teenagers, because she grew up around motorsports too, but they didn’t begin dating until 2014.

Four years later, Christopher proposed, and they married in 2020. Christopher and Morgan now live in Mooresville, N.C., with their dogs, Sadie and Bailey, and frequently travel together during the racing season. Morgan also co-owns Bell Kemenah Racing with her father, Brian.

She has described Christopher as her “best friend” and the person she “couldn’t live without,” while he has called Morgan the “best life partner” and his “forever Valentine.”

So, who is Christopher Bell’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Morgan Bell and her relationship with the NASCAR driver.

Morgan grew up around motorsports

Morgan was born on April 27, to Brian and Stacey Kemenah and grew up in Burgoon, Ohio. She attended Old Fort High School, where she was involved in track and field sports.

Morgan comes from a family involved in motorsports, as she told Haley Dillon on her Believe in the Good podcast in April 2025. She said that she “did grow up in a racing family,” and was used to seeing sprint cars parked outside the family home when she was younger.

Morgan’s grandfather, Harold, became involved in racing in the 1960s, sponsoring and owning cars for drivers, while her uncle, Chad, has competed in the All-Star Circuit of Champions and the World of Outlaws. Brian, Morgan’s dad, is also involved and co-owns Bell Kemenah Racing with his daughter.

Morgan began dating Christopher in 2014

Morgan and Christopher started dating in June 2014. She told Dillon that they first met at dirt tracks in 2010, before he reached out to her on Facebook and gave her his phone number a few years later. They went on their first official date at Olive Garden.

In October 2014, Christopher posted a photo of Morgan on Instagram with the caption, “Love this beautiful thing!” and in June 2019, Morgan marked five years of their relationship with a series of photos and the caption, “Today marks 5 years spent with this amazing, thoughtful, kind and loving guy! I am so lucky to be yours and get to live this crazy wonderful life with you.”

In December 2018, Christopher shared that Morgan had accepted his marriage proposal. He posted a photo of them together on Instagram, in which Morgan showed off her ring, and wrote, “4.5 years later she said yes! I love you.”

Morgan married Christopher in 2020

In February 2020, Christopher posted a selfie of the couple in their wedding outfits with the caption, “#Hitched,” while Morgan posted a series of wedding photos and wrote, “Yesterday was the most perfect day in every single way. I’m so happy to be your wife Christopher. I’ll love you forever and always.”

They spent their honeymoon in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. While there, Morgan posted a selfie of them together and wrote, “It’s day number 2 being married to you and I’m loving every minute.”

To mark their first anniversary, Christopher posted a photo from their wedding day on Instagram and captioned it, “One year down, forever to go! There’s no one else I would rather go through life with!”

Morgan and Christopher have two dogs and want children in the future

Morgan shares two dogs, Sadie and Bailey, with Christopher, describing herself as “Sadie and Bailey’s momma” in her Instagram bio.

Sadie was born in 2018, and Morgan often celebrates her birthday and National Pet and Dog Days by posting photos of her on Instagram. She posted on Instagram in 2020, alongside a photo of herself with Sadie, “Happy National Dog Day to my favorite little fur ball😊She is the cuddliest and most needy little girl and I wouldn’t trade her for anything.”

Speaking on the Believe in the Good podcast in April 2025, Morgan also shared that she and Christopher want children someday. She said, “We definitely do want kids, it’s just a matter of when, I guess. And we haven’t quite figured out that timing yet.”

Morgan is interested in baking

In April 2025, Morgan shared on the Believe in the Good podcast that she enjoys baking. “Christopher laughs to me, he says I have a lot of old lady habits and I’m like I can’t, can’t help that,” she said.

When Dillon asked if she was still making her sourdough bread, Morgan said, “I don’t know the last time that we’ve really bought bread,” adding, “Literally every weekend too, like I get on the plane and I bring a loaf of bread with us every weekend to the races.”

Morgan supports Christopher’s career

Morgan is frequently there when Christopher is competing.

She was by his side to support the racer at the DC Solar 350 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in Las Vegas in October 2016, and celebrated alongside him when he won the NASCAR XFINITY Series Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway in October the following year.

In March 2025, after Christopher won the 2025 Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Ariz., Morgan posted a photo of herself with his team and wrote, “This. Team. I freaking love this team! The 3peat was accomplished.”
