The seventh-annual “Run for the Son” car show attracted more than 100 classic and collector vehicles Saturday at Covenant Life Church in Norris.

Cars, trucks and other vehicles were set up all around the church, which is on Andersonville Highway just east of Norris Freeway.

Weather was perfect for the show, with sunny skies and mild temperatures.

Although there was a $20 entry fee for each vehicle, spectators were admitted free to see the vintage, classic, and future classic vehicles in front of and on both sides of the church.

Church officials said several hundred spectators turned out for the show.

Spectators were directed to park across Andersonville Highway in the former IGA supermarket lot, where they were ferried by church bus to the event.
