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

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

What a great show. In the photos you'll see the all-original 53 Olds Ninety-Eight which has been owned by Curtis' family since it was new. In addition to the vehicles in the show, there were a number of cars on the street. Registrations numbered 173. … [Read more...] about Redcliff – June 18, 2022 – 155 photos
