Taking a Shine to It

Henry Stacy of Rudy, Arkansas, cleans his 1977 Trans Am during the Show 'n' Shine event of Bandit Run on Sunday, May 22, 2022, at Four States Auto Museum in downtown Texarkana, Arkansas. The Bandit Run lets lovers of the 1977 hit re-enact its premise: an illegal transport of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta, Georgia. Many participants drive vintage Pontiac Trans Ams like the one driven by Burt Reynolds’ character in the movie. On Monday, May 23, 2022, the cars will travel to Vicksburg, Mississippi. The run ends Saturday, May 28, 2022, in Helen, Georgia. (Photo by JD)
