April 15th was the tax deadline as well as the ever-popular Kool April Nights cruise where over 2,000 hot rods and classic cars purred through the streets for Redding’s famous 20th anniversary car show.
The cruise started at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
The route circled Hilltop Drive, Dana Drive, Churn Creek Road, East Cypress Avenue, and started again at Hilltop.
Spectators young and old lined the route cheering and admiring the classic beauties as they paraded the streets.
There were numerous Camaro SS’s and Dodge Chargers, one of which was an exact replica of the Dukes of Hazard car the “General Lee.”
Children cheered as the drivers revved their engines and peeled their tires.
The alluring smell of exhaust and burnt rubber overwhelmed the senses.
On Saturday the 16th at the Redding Drag strip a variety of classic cars raced to cheering fans.
The Redding Convention Center hosted the car show where owners proudly displayed their works of art.
The brilliance of polished chrome and intensely colored paintjobs illuminated the neighborhood.
"Oh, wow. Look at the paint job on that one," said Katherine Silveira of Shasta Lake.
Sunday at the Convention Center awarded various owners for their automobiles.
