Area car enthusiasts wrapping up season with classic, vintage shows

Both the Innisfil Beach Cruisers Car Club and Back Alley Car Cruisers Club of Bradford are hosting upcoming Show and Shines

The Innisfil Beach Cruisers Car Club wraps up the season with a grand finale car show, that is a fundraiser for both the Rotary Club of Innisfil, and the Innisfil Food Bank, Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Toronto North Cookstown KOA Campground in Innisfil (Hwy. 89 and 400), from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Rain Date is Sept. 22.

Show vehicle admission is $5; spectator admission is free – although donations of cash or non-perishable food items for the food bank are welcomed. The event will include vendors, food, live music with Elvis tribute artist Terry Chisholm, and trophies for the top vehicle entries.

There will also be a special guest: visitors are invited to meet Batman and the Batmobile.

Last year saw more than 400 vintage, classic and custom cars, trucks and bikes entered in the show, said Rotarian Barry Rutledge – and the event raised $2,500 for the Rotary Club and its projects.

Back Alley Cruisers Car Club of Bradford hosts its annual Pre-Snow Show at the Georgian Bay Steam Show grounds in Cookstown, on Victoria St. West, on Sunday, Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is a donation of cash or non-perishable food for the Helping Hand Food Bank in Bradford. Come out for classic and antique cars and trucks, motorcycles, muscle cars, rat rods and street rods, at the annual show and shine – plus music provided by a DJ, barbecue, bake sale, draws and games. 

Club president Gord Houston will once again be wearing his Bermuda shorts, whatever the weather – his lucky charm to fend off the snow, until after the car show.  Sometimes it even works…
