Hot August Nights 2017 - Car Pictures

Pictures of various cars that caught my eye while hanging out at the various venues at Hot August Nights 2017.

But let me start with this iconic image

The bottom two lines reflect my philosophy regarding attending car shows.

This extremely clean GTO was my first car picture at Hot August Nights this year


A "six pack" under the hood of another GTO



That is one clean engine compartment

1970 Boss 302

And the exterior

Somehow this 69 crashed the 1970 party

I didn't see many Corvairs in Reno


AMX

I like the look of this Camaro

The wheels have to go  :(






A 428 stuffed under a display hood.  There was an information sheet explaining how rare these hoods are and were only used by dealerships.


I have no idea whose 65 2+2 is in the background  :)






At a small show at the Summit store in Sparks.






The 70's called...they want their stance back  :)




This spot must have been reserved for green cars, or they pissed someone off and got sent to the end of the parking area.




The interior of a GTO at The Atlantis














I remember seeing these decals in the 1970's.  I thought it was for Thrush Mufflers, but the Thrush "bird" didn't have a cigar.







A Nash Metropolitan

And it's unique hood ornament


I called this area at the Grand Sierra Resort "Mopar Corner"



Gotta love them Hemis

Spotted these two in downtown Reno

The owner of this car came over to talk to me about my ignition, and as we were talking, I found out that his wife is from the same little town I live in...Douglas, AZ
