I headed to Hot August Nights in Reno last week and had a blast. I drove the '59 Ranchero up through beautiful Lake Tahoe with my two daughters. Here are a few pictures that I wanted to share. Hot August Nights or BUST! Driving to Lake Tahoe. Hwy 50 near Strawberry Hwy 50 Horse Tail Falls Lake Tahoe basin - beautiful morning drive. Heading to Atlantis Hotel Cruising Virginia Street, Reno Galaxie Gasser or Street Freak? 1932 Ford that has been around Truck Wagon Pie Wagon Rat Rod Hot Rod Wicked Willy's Jeep Another Rat Rod

lived next door to Reno (Sacramento) for 30 years and never made it to Hot August Nights... nice pics! I like your dad's Starliner. I just bought one
I noticed you had your lunch in the bed but what about the girls? Here is a link to my buddies photos as well. http://hotrodhigh.zenfolio.com/p984039778
My Dad's car is really great. It is a 352 360 hp 3 speed overdrive. It is all stock execept weels and a 3-dueces. He bought it brand new. It is the same car I came home from the hospital being born in 1966! Lets see your starliner. Mike
That is my youngest daughter in blue standing by that car. I love the look on her face, looks like she is thinking......."WTF?".......ha, ha. Mike
Ha! Yeah, we roughed it a couple of days without mom. We survived on chips, cookies, and beef jerky. We had an "Aweful aweful" for dinner. That tided them over for a while. Cool photos. I haven't gotten through all of them yet. Mike
Yeah, the stickers are a bit over the top. But, other than that it is a wicked car. He ran around with open headers. Sounded awesome. Mike
I agree...everytime it is mind-blowing. Sadly, I only make it every couple of years. Speaking of mind-blowing. This T was truly awesome and the guy that owned it was a super-nice guy. He even threw me into the drivers seat to get a feel for it. Sadly, my SD card malfunctioned and I got no photos of it. Did you get any other angles?
Here are some pics from mj40's buddy. Go here and there are a few pictures. http://hotrodhigh.zenfolio.com/p984039778/h1d76ce56#h1d76ce56
Awesome - Thanks. This car is quickly shaping-up to be my "gateway drug" into traditional hot rodding. I will try to get some of my photos around and share them here.
