Few things are quite as honest and reliable as an old Chevy pickup truck. This gorgeous 5-window rolls out of the Altona Shopping Mall parking lot in Altona, Manitoba, for another Legends Car Club evening cruise.

Just a reminder that tonight will be another great night for cruisin’ at the Pony Corral on Grant Avenue. The fun “officially” starts at 5pm, but it’s not uncommon for people to show up at 4:30 to get the prime parking spot. For more info, check out their website at ponycorral.com!

This early-model Chevy Caprice convertible came from an era when everyone wanted a big machine to cruise around in. In a way, it was almost like the SUV craze a few years back, but with less exciting vehicles. We might not be the first to ask this, but if you’re going to build an excessive, [...]

A big thanks goes out to Rob B., who was kind enough to let me drive his amazing car, the “24 Hours of LeMans” Commemorative Edition Corvette. This mean machine not only has all the goodies that GM could stuff into it-everything from weight-saving carbon fibre to a 6-speed manual transmission-but everything Rob could throw [...]

Thanks to the lowrider movement, a whole new generation of gearheads are re-discovering the joy of ’80s and ’90s Cadillacs like this Coupe De Ville. Make all the jokes you want, these luxury cruisers once reserved for retirees on their way to Florida winter homes (or maybe just down to Denny’s for the seniors breakfast) [...]
Cruisin’ For A Cause Day is Coming!
When it comes to fast food restaurants, there’s only one chain that has routinely supported the gearhead community, year after year. What franchise is that, you ask? Well, it certainly doesn’t rhyme with “ShmcDonalds.” Since the restaurant’s “Canadian invasion” in 1956, A&W Canada has supported the gearhead community by giving it a home. This home, [...]

Ford really hit one out of the park with its “Secretary’s Car,” known officially as the Mustang. The sudden creation of an all-new class of car caught everyone so far off guard that it took years for the competition to catch up. Even The General (GM) took three years to catch up. When they did, [...]

Lowriders were originally an American phenomenon. Pontiac Parisiennes were a Chevy Caprice variant only sold in Canada. What happens when the two nationalities collide? This clean, white lowrider, cruising the streets of Brandon, Manitoba. As seen at Brandon, Manitoba’s first cruise night of 2009

The definition of “rat rods” doesn’t call for flawless flat black paint and a full interior, but just try and tell Tony Costas that. He not only built this 1959 Oldsmobile from the ground up, he’s also president of the River City Rat Rods club here in Winnipeg. As seen at “Cruisin’ the Dub” at [...]
