Although the weather didn't co-operate on Father's Day, over 1100 vehicles showed up for the annual Father's Day Old Car Sunday in the Park at Mission.

VCCC Golden Ears Chapter registered all the vehicles as they came in, while Early Ford V8 Club, PISRA and VCCC Fraser Valley Chapter helped organize and park the cars.

There were all types of cars in attendance, lots of Avanti's, Metropolitans, Corvettes, and of course the usual Ford, Chevies and Mopars.

Even though the sun wasn't out, everyone seemed to be having loads of fun sitting chatting, visiting with their families and having BBQ's.

See you next year!

Barrie Spring Auto Flea Market - 2010

I visited my family in Ontario this past week . While in Orillia, visiting my brother Walter, the Barrie Auto Flea Market was on. I thought maybe I might find a replacement horn button and parking brake boot for the 1937 Dodge. But no-one could help me. We did have a great time trudging the over 250 acres of parts, cars and memorabilia.

We found loads of beautiful cars, including this red corvette, but there was way too much drool on the windshield, so we didn't buy it!  That's Walter trying to decide if he wanted to drive it home!

Here is my horn button, but unfortunately it was attached to a very nice rodded 38 Dodge.  We couldn't disconnect the battery without creating a disturbance, so was unable to steal it!  We do know that they are out there somewhere, so will have to keep looking.  Or, maybe, this guy has got his duct taped together too!!

There are more pictures posted on Flickr, go and check them out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/46922211@N07/sets/72157624150627309/
