RENO, NEVADA (June 15) — Great weather set the stage for a trio of car meets plus one that moved to Moon Rocks in the afternoon.
• Reno Jeeps & Coffee started things by the Human Bean stand located at the corner of South McCarran and Longley Lane. At first there were a few then the number grew.
• Not far away Reno Cars & Coffee had its second meet of the month. Location was by the Human Bean Coffee stand located at the corner of Moana and Keitzke Lanes
There were at least a couple of exotics on hand. A nice looking Corvette was parked by a gray Lambo.
As usual there were contrasts for people to check out. A roadster was parked next to some modern imports.
Not that far away there were a few cars with their hoods up. One was a blue Corvette and people were admiring the motors in these cars.
• Heading up North Virginia the Bonanza staged its annual Father’s Day Show ‘N’ Shine. The parking lot was full of cars including this vintage Corvette. Want to thank Ed Hughes for allowing me to use one of his photos.
• Around noon, the folks at Reno Jeeps & Coffee headed north into Spanish Springs. The event was Moon Rock Madness so many of the Jeeps would get to climb the rocks an trails up there.
That’s it for this weekend. Hope all the Fathers out there had a wonderful Father’s Day. Be safe and see you next week.
