It's a tradition for dozens of classic vehicles to make the short drive out to the legendary Last Chance Saloon in Wayne on the evening before Boogie in the Badlands car show. Previous to the classic car caravan, I took my bike this year and rode the scenic and historic "11 Bridges" road between Rosedale and Wayne. If you’ve never ridden it, it’s a sensory … [Read more...] about Drumheller Preview – May 22, 2026 – 97 photos

If you love classic cars, you're in for a treat. The listings for the Southern Alberta Car Show Calendar continue to come in. We are well on our way to having over 200 car shows this summer. Over the past month I've listed many shows for Calgary retirement residences which are always popular because of the great free lunches they provide to car owners. The senior's homes … [Read more...] about Car Show Calendar Update

In memory of my brother: Charles Truman (1949 – 2026)
I was heading for the Didsbury car show on the morning of Saturday, May 9 when I got the call. I backtracked home, packed a bag, and was off to Regina. I arrived in time to reminisce with my older brother who owned some pretty nice cars in his younger days. He even trusted me enough to let me take his '68 Firebird to town once. Back then, he was working in … [Read more...] about In memory of my brother: Charles Truman (1949 – 2026)

I look forward to the annual trek to Big Sky Country every spring, and this year’s Great Falls, Montana “Crusin’ the Drag” on Saturday, May 2 did not disappoint. There were hundreds of classic vehicles and thousands of spectators on a warm spring day with lots of sunshine. The early morning was crisp and cool when I arrived at 6:15 am to take pictures of the cars as they … [Read more...] about Great Falls, Montana – May 2, 2026 – 220 photos

Amy and Kyle drove their stunning 1935 Chev from Kalispell to show it at tomorrow's "Cruisin' the Drag" in Great Falls, Montana.

Curbside Classics
It's amazing to see how many classic cars are in my Calgary neighbourhood but are never seen at a car show. While walking my dog, or riding my bike in the 'hood I have seen many interesting vehicles. The '59 Olds Ninety-Eight was just spotted yesterday. I've been following the restoration work on the '62 Chev Impala which is located about a block from my home. I spotted the VW … [Read more...] about Curbside Classics
