A few posts back, we brought you some great pics from a regular gig here for cars lovers and coffee addicts (see our Cars and Coffee post from 7/14/08). Every Saturday morning proud drivers and car lovers get together to kick tires and enjoy a cup of Joe. Cars and Coffee™ Las Vegas launched June 14th, 2008 and is growing. We’ve been out there a few times now, and each time there are a few more cars. the congregation of assorted cars runs from 7:00am - 10:00am at 9500 S Eastern Ave. in the Sansone Park Place Shopping Center (215 and Eastern).

And while there is a plethora of great rides on display every weekend, this post is going to highlight a few American cars and trucks, like the ol timer ’50’s Ford F-100 above.

With no shortage of chrome, and tons of engine under the hood, we’re guessing this rig really hauls.

She still flies! An airbrush eagle mural adorns each door, complimented by ol glory stars and stripes.

Sticking with old Fords for a bit, we find this proud panel sitting nearby…

…ready for service - Hot Rod Service that is.

Check out her pinstripes.

And what’s a show without an old Chevy truck? This is a sweet ride - the way cool trucks are mint to be.

A hot Corvette looks cool…

…especially with trick hinged doors.

And while what’s under the hood always matters - what’s in the back is no laughing matter either.

Vettes still rule - old ones too.

Not many of these 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbirds around anymore.

The short-lived Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, a sister design to the Dodge Charger Daytona, was designed to beat the Ford Torino Talladega at NASCAR stock car racing and to lure Richard Petty back to Plymouth. Both cars famously featured a protruding, aerodynamic nosecone, a massive rear spoiler, and a horn whose sound mimicked the Road Runner cartoon character. This blue beast is a beautiful example of American muscle from a time when gas was cheap and Mopar ruled the track. As a side note, it’s the first car ever banned from NASCAR - oh, nasty.

Bringing in a new era is the 2008 Dodge Challenger. This is the first we’ve seen on the street and it’s a beautiful car up close. We’re glad to see they are much like what we’ve seen at SEMA over the last couple years.

This one’s packing a 6.1 liter Hemi. Old school thinking in a new world. There should be plenty of ‘go’ to compliment the ’show’ in this one.

Back to old…

This Buick Riviera makes an appearance at many local rod shows. It’s very possible that you’ve seen a taste of her on AirbrushTour sometime in a previous post. This is the first time though, that we’ve been able to get some good shots on a nice day with the hood up…

…which is cool, since this ride is packing some serious muscle - Corvette style. This Riviera is powered by a Corvette Vortech LS7, 7.0 liter, that should be in a C6 Z06, but look quite at home here.

With too many details for this post, we’ll have to bring you more on the Riviera soon.

Okay, we couldn’t resist one last shot.

Less rain made for more Cobras.

Our last car featured in this post is one smooth ride.

Complete with spot lights - driver’s and passenger’s sides.

And of course… fuzzy dice. Vegas - that’s how we roll, baby.

It’s August and the girls are hot! Babes and bikinis. That’s what you get every Friday 10AM to Sunset. Well, that and a good drink or two. Syrup Swimwear hosts Good Fridays at Tao Beach at The Venetian in Las Vegas where the lore of beautiful ladies always makes for a great time. Don’t take our word for it - stop in on Friday and judge for yourself. This place rocks, but you got to be 21 or older - ID required.
