RENO, NV (Dec. 21) — One car meet and the fourth annual Low Rider show were on tap today. While the threat of weather had an effect on one, the other was nice out of the wind inside the National Automobile Museum.
• The threat of incoming weather keep the turn out low for the month’s final Reno Cars and Coffee meet. Still there were some cars to admire.
One with an interesting paint scheme was a Subaru. Great paint and striping on the body.
This continued at the back with a wing and diffuser at the bottom of the body.
There also was a black BMW on display. The hood was up so people could look at the motor.
Over at one end there were four imports that were ready to go. A cruise was planned but was canceled due to the wind.
Except for a few drops the meet was dry. However Mother Nature rewarded those brave souls that showed up a wonderful rainbow to admire.
• Over at the National Automobile Museum has the fourth annual Low Riders Show. It will only be there until January 8 and they have some great looking cars on display from several car clubs.
Soon after one walks into Gallery 4 they find several cars displayed with floor lights to highlight them. Past that one will find this great looking 1963 Chevy Impala station wagon whose is in the Premiere Car Club.
Not far away is a 1095 GMC 3100 Pick Up. This beautifully restored pick up’s owner is in the Guilty Pleasures Car Club.
Several cars have lift kits including this lovely Impala hard top. Unfortunately I didn’t see any reference to a club, my apology to the owner if I missed it.
Next was this 1968 Bel Air station wagon with an impressive paint job. The owner Ricardo Rivas didn’t list a club.
Along the wall was a 1953 Chevy 210 sedan. The owner is in the Viejitos Car Club and it’s another great restoration.
Another great paint job is on this 1983 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. The owner is in the Street Wish Car Club.
There were a few cars from the Frame Off Family and this 1963 Impala is just one of them. It has a lift kit and like many the engine compartment is polished.
I’m only showing a few of the cars and many have polished engines as well as showing the lift machinery that is in the trunk area.
It’s a great way to get out of the weather and the show is just a highlight to what is in the museum. Please remember the Low Riders are only there through January 8.
• This Tuesday, at 6:30 p.m., Trucks & Tacos of Northern Nevada meets at Cielito Lindo Taqueria. The location is 290 Lemmon Drive.
Finally I want to wish all of you readers my Season’s Best and my wishes for a very Merry Christmas. Be safe out there if you are traveling in this weather.
