There are so many people in metro Atlanta who love their classic cars. From Fayette to Forsyth counties, these beautiful machines can be seen cruising the back roads and highways of this state. This video series has been created to showcase some of the fantastic cars in metro Atlanta and the people who put in the time, sweat and money to keep the tires rolling and the engines humming.

One of those folks is James "Jimmy Jim" Brown who looks great in his 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Brown takes his car everywhere and has been known to channel Elvis as he performs shows for seniors.
