Grand Sierra Resort "Show 'n' Shine," August 8, 2008, Reno, NV

Here are a few of the many cars getting my attention late this afternoon:














































Hot August Nights, August 8, 2008




Once again the 1955 Ford Crown Victoria from Wyoming is back. It was parked at a tire garage.















Back to the cars.






Not a great picture because of objects being in the way, but this is one of the cars that was used in the film.





His co-star in the film, Cindy Williams, best known for her role in the seventies sitcom Laverne and Shirley, is happy to talk with fans.





Dreyfuss is busy signing autographs. He is left-handed, like Barack Obama, John McCain, and yours truly.




Richard Dreyfuss is interviewed by local media. I believe this is his first appearance in Reno for Hot August Nights.


Many of the cast members of the 1973 film American Graffiti are in Reno at the Peppermill today and tomorow. Since it is the 35th anniversary of the movie's release, Richard Dreyfuss also joined Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Bo Hopkins, Paul LaMat and others for meeting and autograph signing with fans.



This is my favorite car: the 1936 Mercedes Benz 500K Special Roadster worth many millions of dollars. This one is at the National Automobile Museum in Reno.
