After a wet Saturday morning, at about 2:00 pm, the clouds headed south, the sun came out to shine, and suddenly old and not-so-old cars rolled onto Canadian Tire's parking lot, and then it wasn't long before many folks turned out to admire and reminisce. With the NA car manufacturers in the news recently because of their financial troubles, it was wonderful to see some of the automobiles that gave birth to the auto-industry years ago. I particularly like the design of this Studebaker Champion: it has character. The smallest vehicle on the lot is the 1969 Austin Mini Pick-up - I don't think it could 'pick-up' too much! The oldest is, I think, a 1931 Ford Sedan. It brought back happy memories of my first car - a 1938 Morris 8. I think I was 17 or 18, and cost one-pound-ten, the equivalent of about $3.00.
