The Vintage Touring Association of Alberta made a stop in Markerville with 18 classic vehicles which were all pre-1932 mostly original or restored cars.  … [Read more...] about VTAA in Markerville – Jun 13, 2024 – 28 photos

The first photo in this set is a 66 Chrysler with a somewhat unique feature - it has a "three on the tree" standard transmission.

With the beautiful weather, there was a huge turnout of vehicles and spectators for the show. … [Read more...] about Three Hills Part 2 – Jun 1, 2024 – 83 photos

Arriving before the official start allowed me to snap photos of the earliest cars as they were arriving. The best part is that I didn't have to ask anyone to put their hoods down! The first car pictured, a 65 Rambler Ambassador, was purchased new by the owner's(driving) grandfather. It was a glorious spring day with sunshine and barely a breeze. Thanks to the Three Hills Street … [Read more...] about Three Hills Grand Entrance- June 1, 2024 – 182 photos

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 – 110 photos

Heritage Park in Calgary is traditionally our first show of the year in southern Alberta and we got off to a great start for the 2024 season. The Nifty Fiftys Ford club organized an excellent show with somewhere in the neighbourhood of 400 vehicles on display.
