Bothwell, Ontario Old Auto's Newspaper Annual Car Show. Saturday August 8, 2015.
Permalink  

I took in one of the best shows and swap meets of the year in Ontario with my 57 Pontiac. The 24th annual Bothwell (Old Auto's Newspaper) Car show and it was great as per usual. A really good swap meet, countless fine looking iron and many good folks to talk cars to. It was amazing just how many Pontiac's were there. I took over 200 photos but i narrowed it down to these here. It was a bit of drive and sometimes the weather was not that great but i am glad i went. Check out the rides. Cheers. George

Great stuff George. That would be a $160 fuel tab for me to go and return in the 454.

Anyone know the red 1960 Chevy wagon??

I brought one just like it back from Washington about 1980, 348 Auto, Turbo Glide shift indicator but converted to Power Glide.

It had the coolest thing I've ever seen, a plate on the cargo floor that popped up to reveal a Positraction warning label.

Thanks
Randy

Thanks for sharing your photos, George. Like me, it appears that you have eclectic tastes. There were a lot of nice old iron, stockers, rods, customs, trucks etc. Some beautiful Pontiacs & Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chryslers, even a Clipper! That gray Jag 3.8 Saloon looks exactly like the car a friend's father owned until he traded it in on a new 73 Challenger. Same colour and everything (except for the redlines).

Yes this is a very shameless bump............ but the cars on here are so great that i could not help myself. Enjoy an amazing event from a few  years ago. Check out that rare 67 Impala SS 427, the hood alone is worth mucho. Cheers.
