 | 680.2005RenoRestomodShowWith almost perfect weather over the Memorial Day weekend, the Reno Hilton held host to the Mustangs Plus Restomods In Reno show, Don’t let the Restomods tag throw you off, there were dozens of immaculately restored vintage Mustangs on hand but clearly the focus of the event was to showcase the current trend in vintage iron, made so popular by the proliferation of TV shows where such cars are the staple.
When attending shows, we all have our preferences, what catches our eye and Restomods In Reno was no exception. In our eyes, three cars stood out, the official judges not withstanding. The first was Luc and Bonnie Vangool's ’66 coupe, dubbed the 5.0 GT. On the outside it looked stealth but under the hood beat a 5-liter heart pulled from a wrecked ’88 GT. Hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, they were the event’s long distance winner, driving all the way from north of the 49th paraell.
The second car which caught our attention was Larry Gray’s ’70 “Nada” Boss 302 ragtop. Yes, we know Ford never offered a Boss 302 convertible, but if they did, this is how it would look. Features on both are forthcoming so keep an eye on your mailbox.
Finally there was Dan Collins recently completed ’69 514 stroker, resplendent in its orange metallic finish. The restoration was so fresh, we could smell the paint.
On Sunday, many of the cars took off for a half-day fun run which terminated in historic Virginia City, NV and it was quite a sight to see all the cars drive through the famed RENO sign in downtown Reno.

 | 685.2008 Los Angeles Concours d'EleganceA selected of images from the 2008 Ls Angeles Concours d'Elegance. Due to the large number of images taken these are unprocessed JPGs direct from the camera, rather than conversions from the RAW files I took. RAW files or conversions from specific RAW files can be provided upon editor's request.
While there were many spectacular pre-war cars in attendance, and I tried my best to capture a strong cross section of the pre-war cars, I tend to be drawn to the post-war cars, especially the station wagons and muscle cars. I also capured many of the class winners as they received their trophies.
I will be contacting the organizers to get a complete list of entrants and class winners along with all of the overall winners and special class citations.
This is the third year of this event and benefits the Assistance League of Southern California which provides assistance to needy school children in the greater Los Angeles area. More information can be at www.assistanceleague.net and www.laconcours.com/. | |
