RopnnieAdventure #0382 - Nostalgia Street Rods - Las Vegas, NV


Nostalgia Street Rods is a Las Vegas "must see" for any automotive enthusiast that is old enough to remember the 1950s and 1960s. The display contains not only Street Rods, but also other collectibles from the same era. There are multiple buildings to explore, so adequate time should be allowed to absorb all of the memorabilia.

This is a private collection that was assembled by the Goldsrom family, which has operated various businesses in Las Vegas for a number of years.

























Some vehicles on display are not street legal, but they go fast!



This '32 with a Wedge Engine set the World Speed Record for its class of 253 MPH at the Bonneville Salt Flats.


When you need to go a little faster, you can try adding a second engine in series.


And, if you have too much money, for over $100,000 you can gold-plate parts of your car.



Also on display is the fastest wheelchair in the world.


There is even a vehicle equipped with all of the necessities for when you need to go fast.


A little extra power helps when you want to mow your lawn quickly!



There is a separate Trophy Room building that contains a large collection of sports memorabilia and autographed guitars. We were told that the Trophy Room contains more autographed guitars than the guitars on display at Hard Rock Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas.





Just a few of the signed guitars are shown below.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
June Carter and Johnny Cash

Led Zepplin
