The 2024 Four States Fall Auto Show in downtown Texarkana, Arkansas/Texas was massive this year, the cars, trucks, and motorcycles were amazing.  Oh, Jay Leno handing out the prizes may have helped the turnout a little bit.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but this past Four States Auto Show was the first time I have set foot inside the Four States Auto Museum in Texarkana, Arkansas. You can flog me later... the museum is really cool though with some amazing old cars on display, including a Cobra, a 50-something T-Bird, a 60-something Mustang, a '61 Jag, a 1941 Lincoln, and a lot more.

Seriously, it is a very impressive display, and the museum is right here in our backyard. We have no excuses, if you're into old cars at all, you need to go see it. Learn more here, or their website at FourStatesAutoMuseum.org.

First the Cars, then the Star!

Jay Leno in Texarkana:

It was fun to meet and get some shots of Jay Leno handing out trophies, trips, and quips at the 2024 Four States Fall Auto Show. The long-time host of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno was decked out in his favorite attire these days, a denim shirt and jeans, which is what you will normally see him wearing in his streaming show Jay Leno's Garage, now available on RIG TV, streaming on platforms like Roku, Freevee, Fubo, Google TV, Sling TV, and Plex.
