Morrin is a friendly little town with an annual car show where I can always see something I have never laid eyes on before including Eric's stunning 60 Chev Impala. It was fascinating to meet Steve with his 64 Chev pickup which was purchased new by his grandfather in 1964. The drive out from Calgary is one of the most pleasant trips to a car show with some beautiful landscapes … [Read more...] about Morrin – May 18, 2024 – 53 photos

The first photo features Dick … [Read more...] about Calgary – West Hillhurst – Sep 16, 2023 – 56 photos

Below are the "nice old cars" from the show. … [Read more...] about Chestermere – Sep 5, 2023 – 28 photos

Markerville is another one of those quaint little places which is off the beaten path.
