Carson City Downtown Revival Car Show In July

1951 Chevrolet panel van photographed at a Revival.

The always fascinating Downtown Revival Car Show ~ the seventh ~ hosted by Esther Chapter #3, Order of the Eastern Star, will take place on Saturday, July 13, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Carson Street in Carson City between Robinson and Fifth streets.

“Roll-in begins at Robinson Street at 6 a.m.,” according to a news release posted on Eventbrite. “All cars must enter on Robinson Street and North Carson Street. No saving spots; all groups must enter together to park together. Judging begins at 10 a.m. with awards at 2 p.m.”

Pre-registration is through July 6.

“Registration {is} limited to first 400,” according to the chapter. “Pre-registration is $40 and includes a T-shirt and ‘goodie bag.’ The day-of-show registration is $50 with no T-shirt or ‘goodie bag.’ Personal ‘Pick’ Awards will be presented by local celebrates.”

The car show is rain or shine. One never knows if summer thunder showers may head our way, but the cars would be worth seeing even in a downpour!

I’ve gone for several years and had a blast. It’s one of the most-entertaining and friendly car shows I’ve attended, and I’ve been to many such shows and concours d’Elegances.

For more information, phone Jim Hoff at 775-741-0899 or Sharon Hoff at 775-790-0921.

“Esther Chapter 3 reserves the right to exclude anyone from the car show who does not comply with all directives of the security staff,” the chapter noted. “We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. ‘Safety First!’ is our priority! Please, no burnouts before, during or after the show. Any damages to persons or property are the exclusive responsibility and liability of the show entrant.”
