Year End

The CAR Holiday Party was a huge hit! Thanks to everyone that was able to make it, we had a blast! The main event of the day was of course the Christmas Toy Run, with the entry fee being simply a new, unwrapped toy to benefit the kids! Its shows like this that make what we all do well worth it. The pictures for the days events have been uploaded so make sure you check them out!

With the years final event being over, we here at Classics And Rods of Southern Nevada wish everyone a very happier holiday season and an even happier new year! We thank everyone who we met this year for taking an interest in the local scene and look forward to the new faces and new rides that will join in on the fun next year. Speaking of which, our first event of the new year should be shaping up over in our forums very soon, so be sure to stop on in and share some input so you can cruise out with us.

Thanks again everybody for keeping yesterdays history of classics and rods on today's roads, and driving them into our future!

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN!

The Las Vegas Cruising Association's annual Christmas Toy Run is this Saturday Dec 17th. They are asking for every vehicle to bring an unwrapped toy to benefit the kids at Robert Taylor elementary school. The run starts at Charlie Holder casino which is on Boulder HWY near the Palo Verde/Greenway split at around 11am, and then around 11:30am everyone will caravan over to the Robert Taylor elementary school. There will be games for the kids, as well as St Nick himself. So come on out, drop off some toys and let’s show these kids what REAL cars look like! You can print a copy of the flyer by clicking HERE.

After the show, the day isn't over for Classics And Rods just yet. We will be having our CHRISTMAS PARTY which is generously hosted by the Prez (Joe) and First Lady (Karen). There will be many dishes and desserts to feast out on and a raffle. Plus, lots of pool shootin, ping-pongin’ and dart throwin will be happenin’

If you would like to hang out with us, you are more than welcome to show up and see what we are all about. Please RSVP on the forums to let us know :) We always like to meet fellow classic car enthusiasts!

Overton Success!

The cruise out to Overton was great and so was the show! Many new cars as usual; the weather behaved as best as it could but turned out awesome. Congrats to Adam for taking the 50/50 drawing and a few other door prizes. Kicking off the awards,  Dan, Adam and Justin were recognized at the show as “Youngbloods” being the youngest to enter cars this year and for keeping yesterday’s Classics and Rods to today’s roads! The recognition gave us some great publicity and helped us meet some wonderful people out at the show. The guys up in Overton really know how to put out a killer car show. Can't wait till next year! Check back in a few days for complete pictures of this event, as well as belated Super Run shots.

Weekend Review...But it's not over!
[updated]

The Hot Rod Hill cruise was a nice, laid back show as usual, and was great for getting us all back in gear after the show drought this past month. I spent the night cleaning but the guys tell me it was a good turnout [pics in photos section]. Then, on to this morning, there was a nice show out at Integrity Chrysler in Vegas. Though rather small, the show featured some wonderful food and great cars, including the debut of our own Brian Jackson's fresh '69 Camaro; These pics have been added so check them out! And as usual many thanks to the Las Vegas Cruisin' Association for putting on these nice shows. Now, to wrap up the weekend..
Father's Day Car Show! - Details are in -- Click Here! It's a shame we've lost Timet Field and the Father's Day show there but this should make a great substitute if you can make it.
That's it for now, keep Cruisin', and Happy Father's Day!
