The good cars
come outside
Curated automotive gatherings in Middle Tennessee: one field at a time, every car approved before it gets a pass, and every event giving something back to the county it runs in.
One field. 300 cars.
The Piston Powered Ranch
A private-collector show held to concours standards: three hundred curated cars on a working ranch under fall color, open-fire cooking from Cítrico Grill, and awards at 1:30. Entry is by approval, and the day benefits Community Elementary School in Unionville.
Where this comes from
PaddockGavin events grew out of a simple standard: fewer cars, better cars, and a day worth dressing for.
Donuts with duPont
The monthly Nashville gathering that set the curation standard. August 2026 is its final month, and everything it taught rolls forward into what comes next.
The Piston Powered Ranch
The first full-scale PaddockGavin event: 300 curated cars at Rancho Jaramillo, vendors and VIP hospitality on the field, and 30 to 50 percent of net event revenue targeted to Community Elementary School.
Encanto Blossom Orchard
Collector cars among the apple rows of a U-Pick orchard in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Early conversations only; nothing is booked yet.
