Silver Dollar Car Classic 2017 to shake, rattle and roll through Carson City
With all the color, chrome and roar of engines, the summertime perennial favorite Silver Dollar Car Classic returns to Carson City with events running Thursday through Sunday.
Though there are many shows that make the classic car and hotrod circuit around Carson City, Carson Valley and Reno areas, the Silver Dollar Car Classic remains one of the longest-running events of its kind, packing the capital city annually with spectacular arrays of color and chrome that represent an era where weekends were spent cruising with the top down and the radio blaring.
Staged at Mills Park with warm up events at the Plaza Hotel and Max Casino, the Silver Dollar Classic brings cruises, competitions, live entertainment, food and refreshments to celebrate good times and great oldies.
Here’s a rundown of what’s happening:
Thursday: The Silver Dollar Car Classic Cruise Night’s Show n’ Shine will kick off Thursday, 5 p.m. and will last throughout the evening with a plenty of entertainment options including music and drinks. Hosted by the Plaza Hotel and Conference Center at 805 S. Carson Street, there will be a full bar, outside classics and inside fun with music and dancing.
Friday: The fun doesn’t stop with the Show n’ Shine. On Friday, Aug. 4, classic and hotrod enthusiasts and the community are invited to the Max Casino Street dance from 4 to 10 p.m. at the Max Casino parking lot. There will also be a Show n’ Shine with Route 66, music, vendors, food and more.
