September 21, 2024 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

The big show at Radium is today(Saturday), but many vehicles arrived on Friday and were cruising around town. The day started out cool and rainy, so you'll see a few photos with rain on the cars. The skies cleared around noon and it turned into a beautiful day, and evening. … [Read more...] about Radium preview – Sep 20, 2024 – 195 photos

Calgary – McKenzie Towne Retirement Residence – Sep 14, 2024 – 29 photos

September 15, 2024 by niceoldcars

It was a pleasant afternoon in McKenzie Towne, chatting with the residents, eating hot dogs and cotton candy, petting friendly dogs, and looking at classic cars. Ninety-year-old Ben Ostrander recently completed restoration on his 1936 Ford Coupe and was proudly displaying it at the show. Ben purchased the car in 1950 in Swift Current, SK when he was 16-years-old. It was a … [Read more...] about Calgary – McKenzie Towne Retirement Residence – Sep 14, 2024 – 29 photos

September 11, 2024 by niceoldcars

When Don was driving away from the show in his orange 77 Corvette, a blast of sunshine reflected from his rear window the moment I snapped the photo. It was indicative of the day - bright sunshine and beautiful classic cars in historic downtown Cochrane. Thank you to the Cochrane Classic Car Club and all the volunteers for a fabulous show.  A most notable car, and … [Read more...] about Cochrane Fall Colours – Sep 8, 2024 – 176 photos

Cremona – Sep 7, 2024 – 174 photos

September 10, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

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

September 7, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

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

I was privileged to attend one of the best car shows of the summer in one of the most beautiful places on earth. In conjunction with Nordegg Days, the community hosted their first show and shine on Saturday. With lots of historical sites, and the backdrop of the mountains, it was a spectacular location for a classic car show. I saw many new-to-me cars including a beautifully … [Read more...] about Nordegg – Aug 31, 2024 – 84 photos

Calgary – Bowness Auto Parts – Aug 25, 2024 – 131 photos

August 27, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

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

August 26, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

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

Carstairs – Aug 24, 2024 – 105 photos

August 26, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Memorial Park in Carstairs was the scene of another excellent car show. I especially enjoy this show, not only because of the cause it supports but for all the friendly dogs I get to see. Thanks to Pawsitive Haven Animal Rescue and Ruff Start Rescue Society for a great day in the park.  … [Read more...] about Carstairs – Aug 24, 2024 – 105 photos

Calgary – The Edward – Aug 18, 2024 – 37 photos

August 21, 2024 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

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

The stars aligned and I was finally able to attend the All-Ford show for the first time ever. The Calgary Thunderbird Club's show was held at the Braeside Community Centre, a new location this year with more room for vehicles and better parking for spectators. The pleasant weather facilitated a good turnout of Ford-powered vehicles, many of which I was seeing for the first … [Read more...] about Calgary Thunderbird Club All-Ford – Aug 17, 2024 – 78 photos
