SPARKS, NV (Dec. 28) — The year ended with Sparks Cars & Coffee meeting Sunday. Although cool temps keep the turnout low, there was still a pretty good variety.
Among the group was a red and a black Corvette. Each was from a different generation.
As expected there was a line of imports. One of them had its hood raised so people could see the motor.
Not far away there was a Dodge and a Roadster. Both had custom paint jobs.
Another contrast was a Corvette parked next to a Volvo station wagon.
At the end of one row was a 1970’s era Chevy Vega. The owner explained that when he bought it the car was a shell and had been sitting in a lot for a long time. After buying it, he rebuilt the car and it was at the meet.
There were a few Mopars on hand. One of them sported an enhanced engine. It certainly wasn’t stock.
Over on another row a Chevy station wagon also sported an enhanced power plant. I’m guessing one that was put in as the car was being worked on.
Next up for Cars & Coffee is on January 4 of 2026. Reno Jeeps & Coffee as well as Reno Cars & Coffee will be opening the New Year.
