Car Show & Swap Meet, Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, eh :)

[Howard Cohen]

This past weekend was the annual swap meet and car show in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. I went Saturday morning and found the weather perfect, 65F and sunny. I walked through the vendor areas for about 2 hours, found a few things  and then headed for the car show. (the 1/8th Corvette came from an estate sale  ) 

The first car I saw was a 83 1/2 Monte Carlo SS belonging to an old friend. Gary bought the car new, sold it just before he got married and bought it back a few years ago. The second owner seldom drove it and barely put on 100 miles. The car now has about 113,000 miles. Sidebar...about 1986, Gary was living in Montreal and I was living in Toronto. It was Toledo NNL weekend. Gary had a 32 Ford steel body to drop off at a friend's in southern Ohio and had it loaded on a trailer. Gary picked me up Thursday and we headed to Ohio. Gary drove there and we arrived about 3AM, spent about 3 hours having breakfast and then headed to his friend's house, where they promptly served us breakfast. We unloaded the car and then I drove to Toledo, the SS still pulling the trailer. Gary napped and I headed north, about 150 miles, or as I found out, a 2 hour (or less) drive  The car ran well and it still does today, smooth as silk and Gary keeps it cleaner than the day it was new. 

Here is a link to the album, enjoy my photographs.

Thank you for sharing your photos, always enjoy seeing them. Your friends Monte Carlo SS reminds me of one I ordered new for my wife when we got married in '85. Ours was white with the maroon interior with no T-tops but every other option available at the time. We sold it around 2001 or 2002 for what we paid for it, and it had 110,000 miles. At the time that was top dollar unlike how they are going now.
