WHAT'S OLD OCTOBER 2025

Here are recent pictures of a car from the past. A friend of mine called last spring and asked me if I was interested in this old Thunderbird. Interested yes. Did I want to buy it - no - it is the wrong flavour for me. I asked Michelle and she also said no thank you. I was actually surprised as this was one of the famous cars that belonged to her Grampa Whit. Around 25 years ago Michelle's Dad, Don had gone looking for this car. He found it and bought a new T bird instead. Before last week I had never seen this car but I have heard the legends. The history is real cool.
It would make a neat ride for someone - Maybe Holley wants to trade her Nova for it?

​here are some pictures from a car show at Seacliff Park several decades ago.

What's Old July 2025

We have had a busy start to summer 2025 and along with selling parts we have had the opportunity to catch some great musical acts. Back in the 1980's we were heavily involved with the Leamington Tomato Festival and one of the goals was to build an Ampitheatre at beautiful Seacliff Park in Leamington.
Several years ago the dream became a reality and now it hosts great music many weekends in the summer.
Last weekend we saw a Chicago tribute band and it reminded me of when the Beach Boys came to town and rocked the beach at Seacliff Park. Back then We helped put on a car show to compliment the concert and here are some pictures.

June starts off with the Unfinished Nationals in Flamboro. Here are some pictures from 2022.

Sometimes current events inspire my newsletter so what is more
Canadian than pictures from the 2016 Atlantic Nationals in Moncton New Brunswick.
Although I have never attended I do proudly wear an event T-shirt my nephew brought me
when I suggested he attend. His comment - " wow, were there ever a lot of old cars there"
​Here are some pictures he took - knowing my affection for old trucks.

WHAT'S OLD OCTOBER 2024

Flashback to the early 2000's, we loaded up a couple of trucks full of camping gear and racing enthusiasts and headed for the Halloween Classic at Norwalk Raceway in Ohio. Great racing, cool cars and those who can decorate their trailers and pit boxes for Halloween so the kids can trick or treat. We will have to get there again. Here are a couple of pictures.

WHAT'S OLD SEPTEMBER 2024

Back in June 2018 we held a show at the Sun Parlor Home in Leamington for the residents. The stories and smiles are priceless and we are proud that our local car community supports this event.
​Here are some pictures:

WHAT'S OLD AUGUST 2024.

I searched through the old pictures to find an old picture of us vending in Bothwell - maybe the first year when we rented a van and slept in our canopy - but I could not find one.
​I did find these to share with you.

Bothwell car show. 
​First car in line is our Nova Wagon.

 This 62 C10 had a big influence on Andrew's 64 build.

Sarnia show on the Waterfront- beautiful park , Great show. we lost a hubcap on the way home from this one.

Seacliff Park long time ago.

What's Old July 2024.

Lots going on lately - shows in La Salle, Leamington and Wheatley. They remind me of our early days of car shows - on the road most weekends either local or 6-24 hours away. I dug out the old scrap book - you can tell about how old the pictures are by which camera took the pictures. We started out with a Kodak instant camera until Polaroid challenged them on copyright and Kodak bought it back and we bought a nice Minolta. Then everything went digital and now Michelle's new phone takes better pictures than my digital. - progress- anyway here are some oldies from early 80's at local shows. I wish I could remember more details - we should have dated everything.
