Unlike many
artifacts from the past, it is relatively easy to find examples of old cars
like mum and dad, the grandparents, or even yourself, used to have. Old cars are
collector’s items and the collectors not only enjoy driving them around on nice
summer days but also show them off at car shows.
These cars at
the Annual Downtown Car Show in Port Coquitlam are looking their best. They
really attract a lot of people.
These are
cars at Steamship Days. It must have been an amazing sight when the cars for
this show came over on the ferry to Bowen Island.
The
Grey Roots Museum and Archives in Owen Sound has an old gas station with a
gravity fed gas pump as part of its historic display.
The gas pump
and station look strange to us now because most gas stations now have a similar
modern design and the pumps are standard from one station to another. The classic
cars stand out because they are treasured examples of old models and there are
so many of them gathered in one place. In the temperate Lower Mainland of
British Columbia, it is not unusual to see older model cars being driven down
the street. When I first moved here, my head would turn when I noticed the older
vehicles which were not common where I had come from, now they are a part of
the traffic.
