I've attended hundreds of car shows in Southern Alberta over the past few years but I always see something new at every show. Cremona was no different with a number of new-to-me cars including Doug's 1968 Buick Wildcat which has been in the family since it was new. Cremona is notable for raffling off a classic vehicle, and this year's grand prize was a 1959 Chev Apache truck, … [Read more...] about Cremona – Sep 7, 2024 – 174 photos

Calgary – Firebird Club – Sep 7, 2024 – 55 photos
My first stop of the day was at the Firebird Club's show at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino where I saw Firebirds from 1967 through to 2002. It was nice to finally meet David Stokes and see his 68 Firebird. All makes of cars were invited and I was impressed with the 64 Pontiac Catalina which Chris was showing for the first time. I left early to head for the next show on the agenda, … [Read more...] about Calgary – Firebird Club – Sep 7, 2024 – 55 photos

Waiting for Dan Hollemeyer’s reply
Update: Dan is unable to do what he's advising me to do. Turns out that Dan is just another keyboard warrior who is all talk, no action. I've noticed on Facebook a few people who have never posted any photos criticizing those of us who do. I posted some photos from the Nordegg show, showcasing the classic cars against a backdrop of Nordegg's historical sites. As I … [Read more...] about Waiting for Dan Hollemeyer’s reply

Calgary – Bowness Auto Parts – Aug 25, 2024 – 131 photos
It was a beautiful day in the community of Bowness for the Bowness Auto Parts 20th annual show and shine. 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 25, 2024 – 131 photos
Torrington – Aug 24, 2024 – 44 photos
I look forward to the Torrington show, not only for the cars, but it's always fun to take a walk down memory lane with Paul DeVos, owner of Old School Autworx and organizer of the show. Paul and I were both racing stock cars at Race City Speedway back in the nineties. There were a few standouts at the car show including a rare1969 Dodge Daytona with signatures from notable … [Read more...] about Torrington – Aug 24, 2024 – 44 photos

Calgary – The Edward – Aug 18, 2024 – 37 photos
This is a remarkable location for a classic car show with the historic sandstone King Edward school as the centrepiece. It offered complete shade on the north side for those who wanted it or you could enjoy the sunshine in the courtyard. One of the best parts of the show was talking with the residents and reminiscing about the old days. The live music was excellent and the food … [Read more...] about Calgary – The Edward – Aug 18, 2024 – 37 photos
