During the past couple of years, here in Omaha, we’ve gathered a group of cars that we call “Hot Rods of Omaha”. It is really just a group of like-minded friends with traditionally styled hot rods. Quite often we get asked if it’s a car club and the answer will always be ‘no’. We all enjoy the ease and informality of the group.
We also enjoy getting the cars out and driving them quite often. With that in mind, I set up the first annual Hot Rods of Omaha Reliability Run. We only had a couple weeks to get the word out and it was open to all pre-’72 vehicles. With the help of social media and word of mouth, we had approximately 80 cars, pickups, and motorcycles on the run. The overcast weather cleared up and we ended up with a great day for a cruise. We met in northeast Omaha and the route took us through the Loess Hills of Iowa, back into Nebraska, a stop on an original brick portion of the Lincoln Highway in west Omaha, and ended in the Benson area of town. Much of the route was actually old Lincoln Highway and added up to 85 miles.
Big thanks to all that joined us. I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did! We will definitely do it again next year.
See you at a show,
