AUGUST 2026 ANTIQUE CRUISE
On Saturday, August 8th, The El Paso Corvette Club saddled up their horsepower for a cruise to Las Cruces to participate in the grand opening of Fancy 2nds Vintage Etc store which specializes in antiques and vintage goods. It is owned and operated by our members, Bill & Christina Adams, and was a great turnout for them. You can check out their store at 2001 S. Valley Drive in Las Cruces. They are open on Thursdays & Fridays from 9 AM to 5 PM. There you will find curated and eclectic finds, local artisan goods, furniture, decor, and gifts. After we did our own shopping, we headed with our treasures to the Pecan Grill in Las Cruces for some good food and camaraderie.
JULY 2026 Cruise to Cloudcroft, NM
The El Paso Corvette Club brought the shine and horsepower to its July cruise on July 26, meeting at Lowe’s on El Paso’s east side before setting off for the cool mountain charm of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Eighteen Corvettes, along with club members and wonderful guests, cruised up Highway 54 to Alamogordo, then climbed the scenic route into Cloudcroft for a well-earned lunch at Cloudcroft Brewing Company. After great food, lively conversation, and a few group photos, the caravan headed back down the mountain toward Alamogordo. The fun continued with a stop at Pistachio Land, where employees invited the group to park the Corvettes in front of the building for an impromptu car show. Guests gathered around, snapped photos, admired the cars, and turned a quick stop into one of the day’s most memorable highlights. A big thank-you goes to Lou Avalos for organizing such a fantastic cruise, and to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a fun and memorable ride.
