Markerville – Aug 20, 2023 – 109 photos

August 22, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Markerville is another one of those quaint little places which is off the beaten path. It was my first time visiting this community, and as a history buff, I enjoyed learning about the Icelanders who established the community and the famous creamery. From the Markerville website.... "Today, there are 42 residents in Markerville and once again, the Markerville Creamery is the … [Read more...] about Markerville – Aug 20, 2023 – 109 photos

Caroline – Aug 20, 2023 – 95 photos

Talk about rare! A 1948 REO Speed-Wagon. My internet research indicates only 200 of these trucks were built, and there are only 20 in existence. Hold on, make that 21. Doug found the rusted body of this truck in a field last year and is in the process of restoring it. Doug was showing it for the first time ever at the Caroline show today. The gallery includes a few photos from … [Read more...] about Caroline – Aug 20, 2023 – 95 photos

Maple Creek, SK – Aug 19, 2023 – 80 photos

August 20, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

The cars were fantastic but the highlight of my day was meeting and talking with the former premier of Saskatchewan, Brad Wall. Brad, a humble and approachable guy, owns the 73 Cadillac which was once the property of singer Waylon Jennings. I also got to see an enjoyable small-town parade. The Classic Cruisers held an excellent car show in a lovely park with a museum, a … [Read more...] about Maple Creek, SK – Aug 19, 2023 – 80 photos

Medicine Hat Vintage Trailer Rally – Aug 18, 2023 – 40 photos

August 18, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

When there are vintage trailers, you know there will also be some vintage cars. Seeing as I was already in the southeast corner of the province, I took a stroll through the Gas City Campground in Medicine Hat where they are preparing for tomorrow's show. There were some fascinating and rare trailers including Greg and Linda's 1956-58 Fisher Holivan Junior which was manufactured … [Read more...] about Medicine Hat Vintage Trailer Rally – Aug 18, 2023 – 40 photos

Medicine Hat – Classic Cruise Wednesday – Aug 16, 2023 – 86 photos

August 16, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

I decided to pay a visit to the far reaches of the NiceOldcars empire and attended Classic Cruise Wednesday at the Medicine Hat mall. About 75 vehicles made an appearance on this sweltering hot evening, many of them I was seeing for the first time. Tomorrow's forecast for the 'Hat is 37° Celsius, but I'll be riding my bike in the Cypress Hills where it should be a little … [Read more...] about Medicine Hat – Classic Cruise Wednesday – Aug 16, 2023 – 86 photos

Claresholm – Aug 13, 2023 – 104 photos

August 15, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

It was a beautiful day for a car show in Claresholm with a good turnout of vehicles and spectators. I was impressed with the two old Packards, a 1938 and a 1940, which looked like they came right out of the showroom. I was thrilled to see the spectacular 1954 Chrysler New Yorker for the first time ever. Thanks to the Porcupine Hills Classic Cruisers for a wonderful show. … [Read more...] about Claresholm – Aug 13, 2023 – 104 photos

Shelby, MT – Aug 12, 2023 – 75 photos

August 12, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

On a day when there were 15 shows in Southern Alberta, where do I go? In my quest to see some different vehicles, it was off to the United States where most of the cars were new-to-me. Some of the car owners were farmers, so it was very easy for me to connect with these salt-of-the-earth folks and talk bushels-per-acre and livestock jargon. Best of all, I saw some amazing … [Read more...] about Shelby, MT – Aug 12, 2023 – 75 photos

Calgary Staywell Manor – Aug 10, 2023 – 33 photos

August 10, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Les, owner of the 1930 Ford Model A pictured in the first photo. The car is 93 years old; Les is only one year younger at 92. Ian was showing his recently acquired 1960 Corvette for the first time. It has been in someone's garage for the past many years and is only now seeing the light of day. The residents of Staywell … [Read more...] about Calgary Staywell Manor – Aug 10, 2023 – 33 photos

Calgary Scarboro – Aug 6, 2023 – 57 photos

August 6, 2023 by niceoldcars 2 Comments

I would like to extend spirited praise and enthusiastic applause to organizer Michael McCafferty for this wonderful car show in Calgary's inner-city community of Scarboro. A nice variety of pre-1985 cars were parked on the streets surrounding Triangle park. In the park itself, you could devour free ice cream treats, walk your dog, or sit in the shade of the stately elm trees … [Read more...] about Calgary Scarboro – Aug 6, 2023 – 57 photos

Astounding numbers

August 5, 2023 by niceoldcars 3 Comments

I was overwhelmed when I took a look at the website statistics. I was happy with the viewership last year, but 2023 is incredible. I get many comments at the car shows from people who religiously follow this site, with the car show calendar being the most important feature for most. As the graph below illustrates, viewership to this website is up 83% compared to last … [Read more...] about Astounding numbers
