St. Catharines Ontario Downtown Car Show

[Fratzog]

St. Catharines is a smaller city of about 200K here in southern Ontario Canada. This show is an annual event where a 5 block stretch of the main street and side streets are opened to pedestrians and classic cars for the day. Here's a few pics.

This show runs from 9-5 all day Saturday and is an all makes show that attracts about 500 cars. They have a few small stages set up with live entertainment.

The weather cooperated being hot and hazy all day.

Downtown shows like this are good since the provide distractions like stopping into an air conditioned pub!

This year I brought the Polara and had a lot of people looking it over. I was next to a yellow Camaro Yenko clone which got way more attention.

 

[Fratzog]

Every time I go to this show I'm surprised by some new cars that I haven't seen before.

 

[Fratzog]

A good thing about this show is they don't charge admission recognizing the benefit to the downtown businesses from the crowds.

Great pics, thanks Fred! Love that wagon and if that '68 Coronet were a different color, even a different green.

The snow is always whiter on the other side of the border.

Less time to drive and more time to work on them.

Thanks Dave but not true. You forget Ive been to Carlisle and live 30 min from the border. Plenty of beauties on your side. Plus half the US doesnt use salt.

Only 30 minutes? Christ, it felt like two hours

 

[Fratzog]

About 2 hours from the border to New Hamburg. My place to Niagara Falls is 30 minutes.

We sampled some on Saturday when we ran down the wine trail on Cayuga lake. It's all good!
