RENO, NV (April 13) — Great spring weather brought car people out for three different events this Palm Sunday. Two were meets while there was a very well attended swap meet.
• Things started early Sunday morning, around 6 a.m., when Classic Chevys started their 14th annual Spring Swap Meet. The location was in the west parking lot of Baldini’s Casino. Looked like a great turn out for this event.
• A little later, around 10 a.m. Sparks Cars & Coffee had its first meet of the month. As usual variety was the theme.
One beauty that gathered a lot of attention was his Camaro. It was sporting a very different engine.
As usual there are a couple of restored classics. One was this red convertible. It was parked by an import sports car.
