The 10th annual Fallon Theatre Show-N-Shine brought 131 vintage cars, motorcycles, and pickups to several blocks of Maine Street on Sept. 26.
The event has grown considerably since the first show in 2016, when 43 cars participated. This year's entries came from California, Lovelock, Winnemucca, Reno, and Fallon.
Mike and Susan McConnell of Fallon won Best in Show with their 1957 Ford Custom, a car built over seven years. Mike McConnell said he waited 20 years to buy the car before the project began in 2019. Their names will be added to the Fallon Theatre Show-N-Shine Revolving Trophy.
“I wanted the timeless style of a beautiful 1957 Ford, combined with the comfort and convenience of a modern car: cruise control, air conditioning, power steering, intermittent wipers, backup cameras, and all the modern conveniences,” McConnell said.
Family and friends helped McConnell complete the project during its final two years.
