Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos
Car shows don't get any better than this one. I would have driven from Calgary just to see the 1918 Buick but there were hundreds of classic vehicles worth seeing. Ken's 1918 Buick is a fascinating car. It was a special treat to hear it running and to see him drive it away after the show was over. The car has an overhead valve engine which was a rarity in 1918. The Coaldale … [Read more...] about Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos

New Horizon Mall – May 20, 2023 – 30 photos
After spending the morning at the Morrin car show, I headed for Calgary and the wildfire smoke. Arriving late, some vehicles had already left but the car count was down considerably due to the thick smoke. I was thrilled to see Angelo's all-original 57 Rambler Super for the first time. It was his grandfather's car and what a rare treat to see. … [Read more...] about New Horizon Mall – May 20, 2023 – 30 photos
