Hot August Nights - Reno, Nevada

To buy a truck with all of the factory options such as this '58 Chevy shortbed Big-Window Fleetside a guy would have to spend some dough.

Here's a 21st century take on a traditional '50's-style custom. We think the air cleaner is from Technostalgia.

This '57 Chevy came down from Denver, CO, to enjoy Sparks' involvement in Hot August Nights.

Trucks as pretty as this small-window '56 Ford F-100 with Custom Cab never go out of style.

About the only thing that separates this '56 Chevy from being a base model is its Big-Window and optional chrome-plated hubcaps.

This '59 Chevy shortbed Fleetside with a Big-Window and Custom Cab was just one of many show-quality trucks present at Hot August Nights.

The lack of a 3100 emblem below the Chevrolet blaze on this truck's hood identifies it as a '52. The 3100 emblem was eliminated to help conserve metal during the Korean War.

This C10 Chevrolet was parked under cover at the entrance to the Peppermill.

Look for Matt's super clean '55 Cameo from Arlington, WA in an upcoming issue of CCT. Matt's dad handled the bodywork and even smoothed the steel seams inside the cab.

As witnessed by the presence of this '37 Plymouth pickup there's still a lot of unusual old farm trucks living in those Nevada hills.

The wheelie bars on the back of this Pro Street Cameo Carrier aren't there just for looks. After this photo was taken "Kameo" pulled a wheelstand clear across the parking lot.

With the mid-'58 introduction of the Fleetside bed, Cameo Carriers such as this '58 from Bakersfield were rare even in the year they were sold.
