The 1947 Jeep in the first photo was a Pandemic Project for the family and the resulting restored vehicle is beautiful. The motor is a 4 cylinder with 134 cubic inches and 60 horsepower. It doesn't sound very powerful, but the Jeep only weighs 2215 pounds. … [Read more...] about Calgary PartSource – June 25, 2023 – 53 photos

Carseland – June 24, 2023 – 112 photos
It was a wonderful day in Cars-land. The beautiful summer weather brought out a lot of nice vehicles including a few that I've never seen before. When I talked to Jeff previous to the show, he was hoping for 50 cars to materialize but he ended up with closer to 90. … [Read more...] about Carseland – June 24, 2023 – 112 photos
Fort MacLeod – June 17, 2023 – 121 photos
Historic main street in Fort MacLeod was the perfect setting for creating the ambience of a bygone era. I was thrilled to see so many older classics and have arranged the photos(roughly) from oldest to newest(except for the final 10 which I saw on the street and were not in the show). It was also a record-setting day for this website with 2,438 views. Thanks for … [Read more...] about Fort MacLeod – June 17, 2023 – 121 photos
GlenDeer A and W – Jun 16, 2023 – 67 photos
It was my first time attending Cruising at the Junction this year. I had to leave early, so these photos include all the early birds. The show officially starts at 5 pm, but all these beauties arrived by 5 pm. It was nice to see some first-timers including Tina with her 65 Chev Impala. … [Read more...] about GlenDeer A and W – Jun 16, 2023 – 67 photos
Calgary Wheels 4 Meals – June 11, 2023 – 66 photos
Calgary's Meals on Wheels held their first ever car show today and it attracted a lot of interesting vehicles. Lawrence was showing his 63 Chevy2 Nova SS for the first time ever. The 86 Citroen is quite a rare car to see, and Graham had his "twin" Dodge convertibles on display. It was top-down weather with just a very thin haze of wildfire smoke in the air. … [Read more...] about Calgary Wheels 4 Meals – June 11, 2023 – 66 photos
Beiseker – June 10, 2023 – 137 photos
It's quite remarkable to attend shows which I was at in the previous year to see almost a complete turnover in vehicles. I'm pretty sure this year's cars were 90% different from last year's. It was another great show at Beiseker with good weather and a parade to start the day. Thanks to Heighton Auto Restorations for organizing this wonderful event. … [Read more...] about Beiseker – June 10, 2023 – 137 photos
Three Hills – June 3, 2023 – 169 photos
The turnout of vehicles and spectators for this show was huge. Not all, but most of the photos I'm posting are vehicles which we haven't seen on this website recently. I've indicated the make and year on all the photos except for the final 24 which were parked on the street and not registered. Thanks to the Three Hills Street Freaks for a fantastic car show. … [Read more...] about Three Hills – June 3, 2023 – 169 photos
Shaughnessy – May 27, 2023 – 17 photos
On my way to Coaldale, I caught the tail end of the show in Shaughnessy on Saturday May 27. It was already after 6 pm, so I wasn't expecting to see a lot of vehicles but the ones which were still on site were excellent. The three cars from the 1920s were enough to make the side trip worthwhile. It's a lucky find to see a Whippet, an Overland, and a Model T in original condition … [Read more...] about Shaughnessy – May 27, 2023 – 17 photos
