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

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
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
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
On my way to Coaldale, 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 side trip worthwhile. It's a lucky find to see a Whippet, an Overland, and a Model T in original condition … [Read more...] about Shaughnessy – May 27, 2023 – 17 photos

Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos
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. The Coaldale … [Read more...] about Drumheller – May 27, 2023 – 210 photos

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

Downtown Didsbury was the place to be to see hundreds of classic vehicles. The Didsbury Car Club hosts a great show every spring and the beautiful weather brought out over 400 cars and trucks. In the first photo, Lorenz and Kathryn were showing their remarkable 65 Beaumont for the first time in several years. … [Read more...] about Didsbury – May 13, 2023 – 123 photos

It was a beautiful spring day in High River to showcase these classic vehicles. Larry was displaying his 1972 International truck for the first time ever. He found it in the caragana bushes last fall and worked on it over the winter. The Notre Dame Collegiate Steel Pan Band made some amazing music. … [Read more...] about High River Legion – May 7, 2023 – 51 photos
