Carrie Richards/Nevada Appeal News Service Thunderbird boat captain Dave Marion gives the yacht one more wipe down before he takes it on a cruise to Tahoe City for gas. The Thunderbird requires aviation fuel that can only be shipped to the Tahoe City Marina. The Thunderbird is one of four Tahoe-area boats being honored with stamps by the U.S. Post Office being unveiled during the Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance, a gathering of the finest antique wooden boats in North America taking place this weekend.
