On Saturday 11 December 2010
we Car Nutz made history with our Parade of Classics !
 
The sounds of revving engines and blasting horns resonated against the concrete sides of the New Hoover Dam By-Pass Bridge
as 172 Arizona classics and 200+ Nevada classics
crossed The Bridge at High noon as the Parade of Classics!!
 
Cheers and waves from over 700 elated Car Nutz
answered the high-fives and thumbs-up of impressed spectators
as two  mile-long parades of classics
passed each other coming and going on The Bridge.
 
A great time was had by all - and weather was a perfect 70+ degrees.
 
 

Russ' Last Stop Restaurant, 25 miles from The Bridge on the Arizona side, put on an amazing Car Nutz Breakfast Buffet - tables beautifully set-up with tasty eggs & bacon & bisquits & gravy & pastries & fruit.  A generous raffle made 3 Car Nutz a little richer.  And even a DJ with oldies music kept us restless Car Nutz entertained.  And if it wasn't for them directing the parking and lining us up for the Parade and sending us off so organized, it would have been one pile of confused classics.  Thank you Russ and all your staff for your hospitality and for treating us so very special !!!
 
We had a roped-off parking area at the Hacienda Casino with a beautiful view of Lake Mead -- and their half-price-for-Car-Nutz luncheon buffet was very delicious and well-attended...and their reasonable room rates were so much appreciated.  Thank you, Marla, for cooperating with us Car Nutz and helping to make our day so special!
 
The RailRoad Pass Casino's Tail-Gate Party with the DJ and the huge roped-off parking area was also so very much appreciated, quite obvious from all the classics that were parked there and all the Car Nutz meeting and greeting.  And their free commemorative etched Parade of Classics key chain is a very pretty keepsake.  And their special room rates were also so much appreciated.  Thank you, Curt, for welcoming us Car Nutz and making our day special.
 
And thanks to all you Car Nutz for participating in this historic Parade of Classics.  It was neat that we met so many new Car Nutz and admired so many new and different classics - all friendly folks and beautiful cars!  And hats-off to the Craigs who came all the way from Oklahoma in their '60 Vette just for our Parade of Classics.  And our sympathies to Paul and his Model A's broken drive shaft...but at least it broke in the RailRoad Pass' parking lot and not out in the middle of no-where.
 
The Parade of Classics was fun to organize, fun to do, and I'm so proud that it was such a great success!  What shall we plan to for next year?
