2023 Car shows

Calgary – West Hillhurst – Sep 16, 2023 – 56 photos

September 16, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Attending this show was like going home for me. For 15 years I lived across the street from the West Hillhurst Community Centre and spent a lot of time in the field which hosted today's car show. It was a carnival-like atmosphere on this beautiful autumn day with a juggler, a girl on stilts, a live band, kids activities, vendors and food trucks. The first photo features Dick … [Read more...] about Calgary – West Hillhurst – Sep 16, 2023 – 56 photos

Cochrane Fall Colours – Sep 10, 2023 – 174 photos

September 12, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

This is more than a car show, it's a remarkable event in the beautiful setting of historic downtown Cochrane. There is excellent live music, McKay's ice cream, dozens of friendly dogs, and a sizeable turnout of classic vehicles. I even enjoyed listening to the random piano players who sat down at the old piano on the veranda of the Rockyview Hotel. The Cochrane Classic Car Club … [Read more...] about Cochrane Fall Colours – Sep 10, 2023 – 174 photos

It was a great day for a car show at the Dalhousie Community Centre with many remarkable classic vehicles to admire. Kelly was showing her 63 Acadian Beaumont convertible for the first time. … [Read more...] about Calgary Dalhousie – Sep 9, 2023 – 111 photos

Penhold – Sep 8, 2023 – 50 photos

September 8, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

The beautiful weather and remarkable vehicles brought out a huge crowd for the Penhold Fall Festival's car show. I had an enjoyable time and saw a lot of vehicles which I had never laid eyes on previously, including Dave's 58 Buick Century. … [Read more...] about Penhold – Sep 8, 2023 – 50 photos

Chestermere – Sep 5, 2023 – 28 photos

September 6, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

I hadn't attended a Chestermere show since the first one of the season way back in May, but I definitely chose the right time to return because Dick Nyrose was there with his 53 Olds Ninety-Eight which is one of my all-time favourite cars. As a bonus, Marty Matthews showed up for the first time with his spectacular 65 Buick Riviera. Below are the "nice old cars" from the show. … [Read more...] about Chestermere – Sep 5, 2023 – 28 photos

Gull Lake – Sep 3, 2023 – 66 photos

September 4, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

The final month of car show season is here and I got started by attending this wonderful show in Gull Lake which is held in conjunction with the community's famous pancake breakfast. I arrived a bit late and some vehicles had already departed, but I still managed to see some amazing cars including the amazing 1960 DeSoto Adventurer. What surprises me is that the slate of … [Read more...] about Gull Lake – Sep 3, 2023 – 66 photos

Calgary – The Edward – Aug 27, 2023 – 39 photos

August 28, 2023 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. The free food served by the Edward's executive chef was delicious and it was a delight to see and talk to the residents. … [Read more...] about Calgary – The Edward – Aug 27, 2023 – 39 photos

Torrington – Aug 26, 2023 – 40 photos

August 27, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

I got a lot more than I expected at Torrington. Paul DeVos, organizer of the show and owner of Old School Autoworx, was a stock car racer at Race City Speedway at the same time that I was racing there. He had the program from the day in 1996 that I won the first race of the Victoria Day Twin Enduro 150s, and where I came in third after starting at the back of the pack in the … [Read more...] about Torrington – Aug 26, 2023 – 40 photos

The folks from Pawsitive Haven Animal Rescue organized a fantastic event. The weather was perfect with blue skies and comfortable temperatures, the quality of vehicles was superb, but best of all, there were lots of friendly dogs. … [Read more...] about Carstairs – Aug 26, 2023 – 81 photos
