The Pioneer Village at Coyote Flats is one of my favourite venues in which to attend a classic car show. It's a walk down memory lane with all the historic buildings, equipment and artifacts on the premises that show what life was like back in the day.  … [Read more...] about Picture Butte – July 20, 2025 – 55 photos

Driving into Turner, Montana was a twilight zone experience for me. 50 years ago, when I worked in Swift Current I would often go across the border on my way to Havre and stop at the Turner bar for a beer. Not much has changed in the town but the front of the bar is undergoing some renovations. The people are still as friendly as ever but this time I was drinking soda instead … [Read more...] about Turner, MT – July 19, 2025 – 87 photos

Zegil Automotive and Pure Country Meats held an excellent show at the Strathmore Agricultural Exhibition grounds. The sketchy weather probably kept a few cars from coming but it turned into a pleasant day after a few early morning sprinkles. The 1983 Oldsmobile Firenza was a rare vehicle that I took note of and one that you may never see at another show. Best of all, there were … [Read more...] about Strathmore Ag Grounds – July 5, 2025 – 85 photos

I visited one more car show in Saskatchewan before heading back to Alberta. My only memory of Indian Head while living in Saskatchewan was going there on a class trip in about grade five. The Flatland Cruisers hosted an excellent show and I managed to get a lot of photos and pet many friendly dogs before the rain came around 1 pm. The owner of the 67 Barracuda recognized my … [Read more...] about Indian Head, SK – Jun 29, 2025 – 119 photos

Thank you to Melinda, the organizers, the volunteers and to everyone who showed up … [Read more...] about Torquay, SK – June 28, 2025 – 124 photos

Coke, orange, and root beer completed the feast. In addition to the delicious lunch, the residents were treated to some nice old cars to bring back memories and reminisce about days gone by. The … [Read more...] about Calgary – Aspen Heights has the best car show lunch

Once it was a town a few miles from Calgary but Shepard is now a part of Calgary in the deep southeast. Thirty years ago I drove past this location frequently during the summer as I was hauling my race car to Race City Speedway. It's nice to have a new venue in the city for a car show. With the good weather, there was a sizeable turnout for this first ever show.  One … [Read more...] about Calgary – Shepard – Jun 7, 2025 – 68 photos
