Been to the Museum a couple of times.Certainly was a Big Influencer of the Hobby.R.I.P.

One of my early muscle car hero's. Seemed like he had a car in Super Chevy or MCR every other month in the mid to late 80's. Made it to the museum once in 2005 but never had the pleasure to meet him in person. RIP Floyd.

Grew up about 40 miles from Sevierville, always visited the Museum when I was there visiting.

RIP Sir.

I made it to the museum a couple times through the years. Always a fantastic collection. Wish I could have met Mr. Garrett. Godspeed sir.

Went to museum around 97 , Floyd was sitting at entrance with guy that was taking money for entry. I recognized him from Super Chevy and Mucle Car Review magazines printed early to mid 80’s . Mentioned something to effect that I recognized him , they just grinned and Floyd said to enjoy the tour and I sure did . Floyd made an impression on my early muscle car appreciation and felt glad to kinda meet him , was better than meeting a celebrity for me . R I P Floyd

I remember seeing him and his cars at Super Chevy Sunday in Indy numerous times in the 80's. He would bring a whole semi load of cars and have them all displayed together. He was friends with Doug Marion and a lot of his cars were featured in Super Chevy back then. Unfortunately I never made it to this museum. He will be missed.

Grand shows
 

The old Grand Hotel shows was where I met Floyd. He kept asking me to bring my 4K car to his museum some time for a few months but I never did, regret that now.
RIP Floyd.

Floyd was a very interesting person. Very passionate about the cars. He was a true Icon within our hobby and industry. We will miss him and his Southern Chram. R.I.P.

We toured the museum in 2013 and met Floyd. Very nice gentleman. R.I.P.
