Bearspaw Lions(Calgary) – July 22, 2023 – 97 photos

July 22, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

This show marks the 2nd anniversary of my website. I started it 2 years ago, and the first show that I posted on here was the Bearspaw Lions 2021 show. Coincidentally, it was the first ever show for the Bearspaw Lions and the shows have been getting bigger and better each year. Many impressive vehicles showed up including a few which I had never seen before such as Phil's 63 … [Read more...] about Bearspaw Lions(Calgary) – July 22, 2023 – 97 photos

Zegil Automotive and Pure Country Meats held an excellent show at the Strathmore Agricultural Exhibition grounds. It was a hot, sunny day with many beautiful classic cars and trucks on display. … [Read more...] about Strathmore Ag Grounds – Jul 8, 2023 – 116 photos

Champion – July 1, 2023 – 31 photos

July 4, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

I was on my way to Picture Butte but I'm glad I stopped at Champion for coffee and muffins. The event was billed as "Cars and Coffee" for the morning of Canada Day. It was a last-minute addition to the calendar but there were some amazing vehicles which I've never seen before including the 57 Buick, 63 Ford truck, and Rose's 59 Pontiac Parisienne. I was happy to see James … [Read more...] about Champion – July 1, 2023 – 31 photos

Calgary St David’s and Northminster United Churches – July 2, 2023 – 23 photos

July 3, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

I arrived late to the show so no pancake breakfast for me, but the Model A club was out in full force so I thoroughly enjoyed the event and forgot about food. Rick was showing his 1931 Ford Model A for the first time and I hope to see his remarkable car at a few more shows this summer. … [Read more...] about Calgary St David’s and Northminster United Churches – July 2, 2023 – 23 photos

Granum – July 1, 2023 – 65 photos

July 2, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

The second show of my triple-header on July 1 was Granum where they held a well-organized and first-class event. In addition to the cars, I enjoyed seeing the vintage farm machinery and the old jail. The show ended with a parade of the cars around town which gave me a second opportunity to snap photos. As a history buff, I enjoyed a tour of the museum and seeing the … [Read more...] about Granum – July 1, 2023 – 65 photos

Picture Butte – July 1, 2023 – 72 photos

July 2, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

This car show will stand out as a hi-lite of the summer for me. The Coyote Flats Pioneer Village is the perfect setting for a classic car show and the vehicles were exceptional.  … [Read more...] about Picture Butte – July 1, 2023 – 72 photos

Calgary PartSource – June 25, 2023 – 53 photos

June 27, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

The 1947 Jeep in the first photo was a Pandemic Project for the family and the resulting restored vehicle is beautiful. The motor is a 4 cylinder with 134 cubic inches and 60 horsepower. It doesn't sound very powerful, but the Jeep only weighs 2215 pounds. … [Read more...] about Calgary PartSource – June 25, 2023 – 53 photos

Calgary Wheels 4 Meals – June 11, 2023 – 66 photos

June 11, 2023 by niceoldcars 3 Comments

Calgary's Meals on Wheels held their first ever car show today and it attracted a lot of interesting vehicles. Lawrence was showing his 63 Chevy2 Nova SS for the first time ever. The 86 Citroen is quite a rare car to see, and Graham had his "twin" Dodge convertibles on display. It was top-down weather with just a very thin haze of wildfire smoke in the air. … [Read more...] about Calgary Wheels 4 Meals – June 11, 2023 – 66 photos

Beiseker – June 10, 2023 – 152 photos

June 11, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

It's quite remarkable to attend shows which I was at in the previous year to see almost a complete turnover in vehicles. I'm pretty sure this year's cars were 90% different from last year's. It was another great show at Beiseker with good weather and a parade to start the day. Thanks to Heighton Auto Restorations for organizing this wonderful event. … [Read more...] about Beiseker – June 10, 2023 – 152 photos

Shaughnessy – May 27, 2023 – 17 photos

June 1, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

I'm glad I caught the tail end of the show in Shaughnessy on Saturday May 27. It was already after 6 pm, so I wasn't expecting to see a lot of vehicles but the ones which were still on site were excellent. The three cars from the 1920s were enough to make the trip worthwhile. It's a lucky find to see a Whippet, an Overland, and a Model T in original condition parked … [Read more...] about Shaughnessy – May 27, 2023 – 17 photos

Coaldale – May 28, 2023 – 159 photos

May 30, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

The Coaldale Custom Cruisers hosted a terrific show on Sunday, May 28, 2023. The weather was perfect, the cars were amazing, and there were lots of smiling faces. … [Read more...] about Coaldale – May 28, 2023 – 159 photos

Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos

May 28, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

Car shows don't get any better than this one. I would have driven from Calgary just to see the 1918 Buick but there were hundreds of classic vehicles worth seeing. Ken's 1918 Buick is a fascinating car. It was a special treat to hear it running and to see him drive it away after the show was over. The car has an overhead valve engine which was a rarity in 1918. … [Read more...] about Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos

Morrin – May 20, 2023 – 95 photos

May 20, 2023 by niceoldcars 1 Comment

Morrin had less wildfire smoke than Calgary today and lots of cars which I’ve never seen before. Mayor of Morrin, Chris Hall, and his helpers put on a wonderful car show which ran the entire distance of main street. … [Read more...] about Morrin – May 20, 2023 – 95 photos

Wild Wednesday smoke show – May 17, 2023 – 47 photos

May 17, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Forest fire smoke is thick in the air around Calgary, but the show must go on! I enjoyed seeing Dave's beautiful, stock 1939 Pontiac at this evening's show. … [Read more...] about Wild Wednesday smoke show – May 17, 2023 – 47 photos

Irricana – May 13, 2023 – 56 photos

May 14, 2023 by niceoldcars Leave a Comment

Irricana was the second leg of Saturday's car show doubleheader. The community was holding a car cruise and community showcase on main street with lots of activities including local vendors, live music, a petting zoo with goats and pigs, and classic cars. … [Read more...] about Irricana – May 13, 2023 – 56 photos
