The Southern Alberta Car Show Calendar looks pretty forlorn and bleak with nothing listed. At one time, there were 220 shows on the calendar, exactly the same number as 2024. I created posters for 75 of those shows. That doesn’t count all the weekly shows which would add dozens more to the schedule. The 2023 calendar had 193 shows and in 2022 there were 145 shows. I … [Read more...] about 2025 Season in Review
Leader, SK – Oct 4, 2025 – 53 photos
It was a gorgeous autumn day in Leader, Saskatchewan for the Classic Fall Festival.

Over 400 vehicles took advantage of a beautiful afternoon and evening for The Big One at Taillight Tuesday in Swift Current.

Little Chicago(Moose Jaw, SK) – Sep 13, 2025 – 250 photos
It's believed Al Capone traveled by train from Chicago to Moose Jaw on the Soo Line Railroad in the 1920s to avoid the heat from police in the United States, using Moose Jaw as a temporary sanctuary. The underground tunnels in Moose Jaw were used by bootleggers to transport illegal liquor, including Canadian whiskey, across the border to the U.S. Moose Jaw was a "good time … [Read more...] about Little Chicago(Moose Jaw, SK) – Sep 13, 2025 – 250 photos

Cremona – Sep 6, 2025 – 123 photos
My second stop of the day was at the Cremona show where it was easy to get lost in the fifties. Some of the cars I dreamed about as a kid were all lined up where I could admire them and relive old memories. The day's beautiful weather continued and there was a huge turnout of cars and spectators under the vast Alberta blue sky. The 1948 Chevrolet Thriftmaster pickup was won by … [Read more...] about Cremona – Sep 6, 2025 – 123 photos

Billings, MT Part Two – Aug 29 & 30, 2025 – 200 photos
Burn the Point car show held a parade of cars through downtown Billings on Friday evening, August 29. It was a well-attended event by both classic vehicles and spectators with a slight interruption for a 10-minute downpour while cars were still staging. You'll see a few of my photos have cars with rain on them or owners wiping off the rain. The first photo features Milt with … [Read more...] about Billings, MT Part Two – Aug 29 & 30, 2025 – 200 photos

Calgary – Bowness Auto Parts – Aug 24, 2025 – 200 photos
It was a beautiful day in the community of Bowness for the Bowness Auto Parts 21st annual show and shine. The first three photos show the spectacular 1949 Bentley which took 23 years to restore. This show is unique for the fact that main street through Bowness remains open to traffic so my photos include a lot of cars which were driving back and forth along Bowness Road. … [Read more...] about Calgary – Bowness Auto Parts – Aug 24, 2025 – 200 photos

Calgary – Ogden/Lynnwood – Aug 23, 2025 – 115 photos
Posting the map and directions to the first-ever Ogden/Lynnwood car show must have helped because the turnout was substantial. The beautiful weather was probably a factor, too. The tree-lined (usually closed) street at the top of the hill was a wonderful venue for today's Rubber and Rust event. These neighbourhood shows are excellent for bringing out local cars which we seldom, … [Read more...] about Calgary – Ogden/Lynnwood – Aug 23, 2025 – 115 photos
Calgary – Staywell Manor – Aug 22, 2025 – 62 photos
Some of the most interesting, and seldom-seen cars surface at these small shows. I was amazed to see the beautifully restored 1912 Ford Model T that Barry drove across town to this retirement home car show. It still has the crank start. The residents of Staywell Manor in Calgary were treated to a delightful car show today and I hope these cars from a bygone era brought … [Read more...] about Calgary – Staywell Manor – Aug 22, 2025 – 62 photos
