A big thanks to all the car owners who display their vehicles for us to admire, and to all the organizers who go up against formidable odds to pull these shows together. Despite getting a late start due to the pandemic, it turned out to be a fairly busy car show season. I was fortunate enough to attend 48 shows after the season started in late June which consisted of 29 weekend … [Read more...] about Thank you to car owners and show organizers for a great season. 78 photos

What a wonderful show in the village of Cremona. The weather forecast didn't look promising, but there was no rain and the sun made an appearance in the early afternoon. … [Read more...] about Cremona. 82 photos. Sep 11, 2021

The Wild Wednesday show at New Horizon mall was cancelled due to inclement weather yesterday. This doesn't replace a real live show, but here are 50 photos from the five shows I attended this summer. … [Read more...] about Wild Wednesday favourites
Okotoks. 90 photos. Aug 22, 2021
There were four car shows in Southern Alberta in proximity to Calgary on Sunday but it looks like there were enough cars to go around. The Okotoks show attracted somewhere in the neighbourhood of 600 vehicles and thousands of specators. … [Read more...] about Okotoks. 90 photos. Aug 22, 2021

Wild Wednesday at New Horizon. 90 photos. Aug 18, 2021
This was the sixth Wild Wednesday of the summer and I saw more first-timers than ever. I was thrilled to see Keltie's gorgeous 57 Chev for the first time.

Hoods on Horton. 57 photos. Aug 15, 2021
I was pleased to see a nice turnout of older cars at this show, by which I am referring to pre-1970 vehicles, and those are the ones I concentrated on for my photos. I think the organizers were overwhelmed with the number of cars that showed up. Many vehicles didn't have a registration card on their window, just a piece of paper on which a number was scribbled. Every nook and … [Read more...] about Hoods on Horton. 57 photos. Aug 15, 2021
Chapelhow Legion in Calgary. 54 photos. Aug 14, 2021
Chapelhow Legion hosts a lovely car show every year on the grass. Shows in Calgary have been very few this summer so it was nice to have a short 10-minute drive this morning to this one. … [Read more...] about Chapelhow Legion in Calgary. 54 photos. Aug 14, 2021
Highland Park, Calgary. 54 Photos. Aug 8, 2021
Cole Muenchrath would have been impressed with the turnout at his Celebration of Life at the Highland Park community centre in Calgary on Aug 8, 2021. The rain stayed away and it turned out to be a beautiful day for a car show. The quality of the vehicles on display was exceptional and there were lots of cars which I'd never seen before. Cole owned a VW bus and the VWs were out … [Read more...] about Highland Park, Calgary. 54 Photos. Aug 8, 2021
Airdrie. 172 photos. Aug 7, 2021
I like hearing the stories behind the old cars, and I can see that the owners enjoy telling them. I met a lot of nice people at Airdrie's Time Travellers Car Club show and I'm happy to feature many proud owners with their vehicles. The first five photos in this gallery are something we all dream of, a "Barn Find." … [Read more...] about Airdrie. 172 photos. Aug 7, 2021
