For those who were disappointed at the Wild Wednesday weather cancellation, you might want to consider a couple cruise-ins which are occurring on Thursday this week, and every week henceforth. The Westgate Community Centre hosts Cars and Coffee on Thursday from 6 - 8 pm. Now that's too late in the day for me to be drinking coffee, but I'm pretty sure I'd be allowed to … [Read more...] about Thursday nights are coming alive

My old cars
I often get asked at the car shows, "which old car is yours?" My answer, "the only old car I have is the one I drive everyday." That wasn't always the case. Back in the nineties I had a 74 Nova and an 80 Malibu which I raced at Race City Speedway in Calgary. I was thrilled with stock car racing from the time I was nine years old when my sister Carol and her … [Read more...] about My old cars
Cypress Hills – June 25, 2022 – 104 photos
"Cars in the Hills" The Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park in Saskatchewan is one of the prettiest venues for a car show in the NiceOldCars domain.

It was probably around 1958 when this event occurred and I would have been five years old. I'm not sure why, but I was interested in cars from a young age.

If we happened to be in town … [Read more...] about The Lincoln and the little boy
Redcliff – June 18, 2022 – 155 photos
I enjoyed a visit with my brother in Medicine Hat on Friday and stayed over for the car show in Redcliff on Saturday. This was a first-class show hosted by the Redcliff Lions club and was beyond all my expectations for the number and quality of the vehicles on display. In the photos you'll see the all-original 53 Olds Ninety-Eight which has been owned by Curtis' family since it … [Read more...] about Redcliff – June 18, 2022 – 155 photos
