Thanks again for the latest set of photos. Most interesting are the Buick Park Avenue and Firebird. They are French market models with a few interesting differences to comply with local laws. I prefer the taillights as shown on the Park Avenue in the photo over the domestic North American market ones. Craig

Attending car shows in Europe, Australia, South Africa, etc., like this one in France is definitely on my bucket list! Not to mention, all those beautiful museums 'over there'! I appreciate the variety of cars that are out there; especially some of the pre-war ones that were never sold here in North America. Craig

It appears it was a very well attended show again this year! Thanks for the excellent photos!! Craig

Legend has it, she regularly took her boys to church on Sunday!! Craig

First, you have to buy one of these for each of them: http://americanpowertrain.com/i-23887138-save-the-stick-t-shirt.html Then they will one-up the rest of their schoolmates when they get their driver's licence as they will have done some miles, manually shifting that I-H!! Craig

First time I've seen that phrase in a for sale ad

The same was almost true for the 1922 copper-cooled Chevrolet that was recalled by GM. All were returned except for two owners adamantly refused to return theirs, and one still survives. Craig -

Yep, Previa, before the Sienna. My error which I've corrected. Craig -
1975 Monte Carlo 3,800 original miles all black barn find
8E45E replied to a topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
If it was a first-generation 1970-72 Monte, it would be a 5-figure car. One should consider themselves very lucky to get anywhere close to 5-figures for a second-generation 'pimpmobile' Monte. Craig -

I believe some Hall-Scott and A.E.C inline 6-cylinder engines were 'laid flat' in transit buses. As well, some Toyota vans (Previa) also have an inline four laid at nearly 0° under the floor. Craig -
Is This The Largest Weekly, Unorganized, Uncommercialized Car Show?
8E45E replied to Real Steel's topic in General Discussion
Its very similar to our local A&W Cruise nights held every Friday after work here at the Glendeer location. Although this A&W has free draws for small giveaways, including stuffed Root Bears, mugs, etc., as well a 50/50 draw that raises funds for MS, which A&W here actively supports. Other than that, its "Hop in the car, come as you are" to in anything considered collectible to A&W. No trophies, 'first come, first served' for a parking spot without any organization not unlike the show mention here, but the BEST and most fun part, is without fail, something new and never seen before seems to show up every Friday which keeps it from getting stale.

Unusually, it wasn't ordered with a taxi-like opening rear window to allow the rear seat passenger to shoot grease all over the road behind like's Bond's Aston Martin did. Craig

Maybe there's a nice Beetle out there with a good body that needs a replacement engine. That might be the target market for it. Craig

How old would that infant riding on daddy's shoulders be now?? Craig

Here is a Studebaker M-series truck with a wood body that was originally from Holland: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?94353-Studebaker-Woodies&highlight=woody Craig

That is basically how Alberta handles their Antique plates. One can have YOM plates displayed on the vehicle, but the current province-issued Antique plate MUST be with the vehicle at all times, be it in the trunk or under the seat. Craig

If that photo was taken in Detroit, it would be a ghetto neighborhood today. Craig

If their voice mailbox is full, obviously, you're not the only one having issues with this. Craig

This is the first time I've seen the dual Airtemp fitted to a Dodge wagon, though I've seen a small number of Chyrsler Town & Country wagons equipped with it. Craig

Kind of ironic as the only Honda plant that produced Accord wagons from 1991 was in Marysville. The Marysville plant produced RHD Accord wagons for Japan and the UK (called the 'Aerodeck' in England) market. Craig

The Great Depression was also felt in England as it was in North America. The 20/25 was Rolls Royce's 'entry level car', and kept them in business just as the 120 series did for Packard when it was introduced. Craig

I can see why, depending on which part of the country you are in. Especially when Subaru and Jeep both offered four wheel drive; something the Saturn did not have. (Unless the Vue offered a RHD version.) Four wheel drive is a huge advantage in the snow belt. Craig

That would make a nice cover photo on a vintage car club magazine.. Craig

Cigarette Company Car Collection in Canada
8E45E replied to Graham Man's topic in General Discussion
That collection made the rounds. I recall seeing them in Edmonton on occasion, in 1968, and again in1970 at the Antique Car & Gun Show that was held at the Kinsmen Fieldhouse in those days. At the 1970 show, Crosstown Motors had a 1928 Chrysler on display, and the one 1970 Chrysler 300-H convertible that was made only for auto shows. I had a lengthy conversation with the current owner of that car at the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals in Chicago in 2016. Craig
