Auto Show 2010 - Classic Concourse

This year's Classic Concourse was moved to the 800 level of the MTCC to make way for a Carrol Shelby display on the usual concourse level. The Top Ten Cruise Nationals made a great display on this years Classic Concourse.

Hey, John Whitelaw has been a Nova fan ever since he was 15 years of age when he bought his first one. His 71 used to be his uncle's until John twisted an arm and bought it. John's favourite passtime was to dust offf Mustangs in his Nova.....hope you're doing it at Cayuga now John!

Oh, Susan Gilbey's 58 Corvette earned 92.6 points at her last Corvette Association of America event. This year she has made some upgrades from her last judging sheet and will be shooting for Top Flight this year. Good Luck Susan

Peter Del Grosso used the rotisserie to restore his 68 Z28....Wow, 2 years on the rotisserie.....well done!

Auto Show 2009 - Classic Concourse

Last year's Classic Concourse was second to none. The Top Ten Cruise Nationals cars were some of the best ever. Hey the stories behind the cars were an added feature this year.

How about Archie Duiker and his 68 Roadrunner - He owned it when he was 18, sold it, and bought it back again years later. He says it's not for sale and he's going to be burried in it!

Oh, and Ralph Porco, what a perfectionist. He had his 72 Challenger painted Curious Yellow at one shop didn't like the paint job so he took it to another shop and had it redone.

Larry Shakleton's 36 Ford Coupe was built way back in 1981 for none other than "Dizzy Dean"

This show was really fantastic. The Old Car floor was called the Classic Concourse and was divided in 3 areas, The Cruise Nationals Finalists, The Artistry of the Hot Rod in Flames, and the Lamborghini Theatre.

The Top Ten Cruise Nationals finalists have pictures in the Cruise Nationals section of the web site.

Odd Ball Cruisers

Hey sometimes you're out at a cruise and you see a car and say "What's That". Well here's a few pictures and clarification of some of those somewhat obscure cruisers. Now before you say anything more....remember what is obscure to some is not to others!

Most of us know the Austin A40 or Devon...this is an Austin A35 a 1957 vintage On the left is a Nissan Scargo Van and on the right is a Citroen 2CV. We used to call the 2CV the "Tin Can Car" Oh my God...yet another 2CV
Well this is a Nissan "Figaro" must only be one in the GTA
