We are looking at expanding into the classic motorcycles side of the classic collector enthusiast. The Atlantic Vintage Motorcycle Society is a great place to find information and news about the classic cycles scene. Here is a little information about their group.

This group site is an on-line window into the Atlantic Vintage Motorcycle Society; a real life 'rubber on the road' antique motorcycle club, registered with the Nova Scotia Societies Act. The club is a laid-back organization composed of people from all walks of life and is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of vintage, historic and classic motorcycles. Based in Nova Scotia, with members mainly from Metro Halifax and across the province. We restore, ride and display our motorcycles of any make or model at regular events throughout the year.

In the 1950s, anything seemed possible. The United States was recovering from a World War and feeling very confident in its future. It felt like America was rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the war, and new inventions were everywhere. Technology was heading in leaps and bounds toward the advancements that would take men into space, and home gadgets and gizmos were being created that were intended solely for convenience.

One of the places where the luxury of the 50s and 60s was felt the most was the car market. Cars were no longer boring and drab boxes on wheels that could get you from place to place. Cars were suddenly a sign of luxury and having a car with all the extras said something about a person. Enter all kinds of wacky comforts and upgrades, including the record player making its appearance in vehicles.

Record players in cars was a dream that would one day lead to the reality of portable music that we all know and take for granted.

T-shirts arrived today!!! I think about 10 days from when I ordered. In a nutshell the quality (Heavy weight Gildan cotton) is amazing! The colours are true, and sizing seems to run true as well. If you're on the fence, you won't be disappointed! Order yours today, and make sure you pick up one for the missus!!!!!

Since the summer of 2011 I've been known as "the guy from HiDefRods Photography." Through chance meetings of people like Winnie and Woody Wood, Greg Turner, Joe Savoie, Bill Doherty, and Terry Denomme, I believe that I have become one of the "go-to" photographers for high quality prints and one-of-a-kind automobile photography art. While I love the opportunities I get from Radical SpeedSport, the Atlantic Nationals, and Canadian HotRod and Bone Stock magazines, as well as producing collages, and designing show boards, I feel there's more I can contribute to this motorized hobby and the passionate folks that are the driving force behind it, particularly in the Maritimes!!. Therefore, I've decided to produce a Maritime-Canada-focused Rod and Custom magazine. For more information click on the graphic above to go to our website.

Laurie Walker - Author Hi folks, normally I keep my bulletin board post to classic car related items. However I have a cousin who has written her first novel and i am helping her get some exposure. Here is a bit about the book.

Since the dawn of creation, Rhuna has held a secret deep beneath the Temple of Osiris—a malevolent force capable of bestowing immortality and unimaginable power to whomever possessed it. The Gods, rather than destroy all of Mythos to stop it, imprisoned the ancient evil and the one who created it. They separated Rhuna from the rest of Mythos leaving the land—and its people—to fade into legend. Kian’Huard and Ko’Resh, heirs to the House of Rhuna, happen upon a mysterious cave while out on a morning ride. The lure of the cave is beyond natural, compelling the brothers to enter. Too late, they realize their mistake and are trapped. Their only hope is a perilous venture deeper into the mountain. Plagued with danger, the journey pits brother against brother, until the final trial—the awakening of the Sem Lukos Resh. But the struggle does not end there. Driven by the darkness that possesses them, their conflict continues until only one brother remains. Centuries pass. The barriers separating Rhuna from the world fall. Long since presumed dead, Ko’Resh returns to Rhuna. Once more brother battles brother. One fights to save his world, the other to conquer it.

Driven Autoshow makes its way to Atlantic Canada for the first time and for 1 day only Sep 7 at the Halifax Exhibition Centre (1 PM – 7 PM). Event info and discount tickets at www.drivenshow.ca Smash that GOING button now!

In 2016 four of the ten Henman siblings from Nova Scotia sat in their sister’s living room in beautiful Mabou, Cape Breton – doing what they always do when they get together, making music. That night the seed was planted to create a cd of original Henman songs, Edge of Heaven, 10 Kids 10 Songs. It seemed to be the right time. In 2013 the youngest sister, Patricia (Pat), and her daughter, were critically injured by a drunk driver. Then in the fall of 2016, their brother Harold had a possible life threatening incident while taking a morning walk. The good news is all ten are still here – age 56 to 70.

The Henman siblings got together at a Dartmouth studio last summer to record Edge of Heaven. Album proceeds are being donated to MADD Canada. From left, Harold Henman, Judy Henman, Jim Henman, Jean Beks, Bob Henman, Joan MacLeod, Jack Henman, Paul Henman and Pat Henman. (Missing is Steve Henman.)

On the weekend I had the pleasure of attending my nephews wedding. They were the winners of a $10,000 wedding package giveaway. There were many companies who offered their services but the one we were most exposed to were "Temple on Queen" which is the Performance & Event Venue in Bridgetown. The photography company hired by James and Tracy was "Spice of Life Photography". The weather held up and I noticed that there were three photographers around every where you turned. I'm thinking, they appear to have all the angles covered. The day after the event I was on-line looking at some of the wedding pictures and the one above just jumped out and slapped me in the face and said... Tell me this classic car (and guys) are the bomb. It's a mid 70's corvette dawned in black all polished up and killer looking. I thought a little "pay it forward" was in order for these businesses who donated their time to make my nephew and brides wedding something extremely memorable. If you are in the Bridgetown and surrounding areas and looking for a venue for an event, give Temple on Queen a call. And if you are looking for photography services I would certainly recommend Spice of Life Photography

The couple from Allison, N.B. are part of an armada of roughly 100 vintage cars travelling from Victoria to St. John's this summer as part of the Canadian Coasters Car Club.

To get to the starting point, the Legers left home June 5, choosing to get to the west coast through the U.S. in order to avoid doing the same trip twice.

On Friday, the tour rolled into the field behind the Canadian Transportation Museum in Kingsville, where they will spend the night. While some stay in hotels, most opt to tow their accommodations with them.

“These cars were (and are) all about performance, speed and styling. When I decided to create a painting featuring the Challenger and Cuda, I knew they could not be standing still. I wanted to capture the thrill of competition between the street versions of the famous race cars, while paying tribute to their true origins. What a rush it would have been...

Over the years, Greg held every position in the club and at the time of his death was the events coordinator. He and his wife, Marie and son and daughter traveled to all shows firstly in their green 37 Chevy, then the 57 Chevy wagon and lastly their 48 Ford ½ ton truck. At shows in PEI, NB, NS and beyond would find Greg volunteering in any way that he could be of help. The members of CBACCC are certainly going to miss Greg and we are going to have big shoes to fill in his absence. Condolences for Greg’s family can be sent to the club web site cbantiqueandcustomcar@gmail.com

Over the past couple of years, there have been many groups / clubs which are creating their own Facebook pages. We have decided to create a list of these to make it easier for your to locate these Facebook pages. If you know of a classic car related Facebook that does not exist here, email us info@maritimeclassiccars.com with the group name and the Facebook URL and we will post them here. Click here to see the new web page.

One thing that has absolutely starting to go viral is the membership to our Facebook page. Just last week we had our 3000th member join up. It was only last August when we topped the 2000 mark. We are glad that we were able to create the forum to allow members to talk/post information for parts, events and any old classic car discussions. It is fun to browse through on a daily basis to see some posts of people taking cruises in ... January. Yes we had one day of 15 degrees with sun that just taunted those who store their baby in their own garages.

On another note, this year we added a Donate button on the website to help out with the overhead cost of running the website. We have been up and running for eight years and this is the first time that we have placed one on the website. All funds go towards to promoting the website and adding more functionality to the site as well. Congratulations go to Ted Barfett as being our first donor to the website. The first big show of the season coming up soon is the Castrol Radical Speed Sport Car Show in Moncton from April 15-17th. Time to get the juices flowing. Talk too you soon and thanks for any future donations.

Finally my turn to step up and meet the man. Previous person was a cutie with a Montreal Canadians cap on. As she is leaving he says, "Go Canadians". As I walk up I say ... great, I am a Bruins fan. He replies "I'm sorry". At first I thought he was apologizing to me. Then as I thought about the reply and knowing Ron's wit, he was probably saying sorry that I was a Bruins fan.

As he appears on TV Ron is always a gentleman with a big smile to everyone he meets. We all love him as Coaches Corner hockey guru and his hockey knowledge not just at the NHL level but the minor leagues as well as junior and international players is impecable. Don Cherry is the "Coach", Gordie Howe is Mr. Hockey on the ice but in my opinion Ron MacLean is "Mr. Hockey" of the broadcast medium which we have all come to cherish and enjoy over the many years and years to come. Ron, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you in person.

BOOM... WOW. It was a relatively calm Hollows' Eve when we had the treat of taking in Rick Miller's theatrical production of BOOM. As we filed into the theatre we were greeted with the sounds of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah in the background. Eventually the lights dimmed and Rick appeared on stage with a warm welcome and a brief description of what was to come.

BOOM is a solo performance by Rick that documents the music, culture and politics from the atomic 'boom' in 1945 through to the 'boom' of Apollo II landing on the moon in 1969. Rick portrays the voices of over 100 influential musicians, activists and politicians that shaped our world over those 25 iconic and revolutionary years. Recollecting stories or where I was at specific times, I found myself nodding my head thinking, "Yeah, I remember that". Click here to read the full review.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the most powerful production muscle car in history, and it's predecessor, the 1971 Challenger RT 440 Six Pack, captured in vivid watercolor.

Set on an open stretch of highway in the California desert, "Helluva Mirage" features two of Dodge's most iconic and powerful Challengers. Making the impossible imaginable, Michael creates the illusion of an incredible mirage.

If you are interested in getting a print, contact us at sales@MaritimeClassicCars.com or call Steve at 902-877-7733. It would make a great Christmas gift for the person who has everything.

Just found this new Facebook page which should be a great place for classic car enthusiast looking for classic car and antique auto parts. Although we do have a Parts page on our website, this will help people connect and help each other out. Click on the picture to open up the website page.

A man was shocked when an insurance company refused to fix his 1969 Chevelle following a serious incident saying that the restoration cost exceeded the appraised value and wanted to write off the vehicle. The insurance company (following normal protocol for processing claims) used his last valid appraised value for the car. Since that date, the owner had invested approximately $15,000 into the car but did not get a new appraisal to reflect the actual value of the car after the modifications. Moral of the story is to ensure your vehicle has an up to date appraisal to ensure your receive the real value of the car. For some appraisal services, check our website advertisers.

John Sawyer - I hope he has EIN numbers for those cars... The border will seize them and fine him.

Michael Sickboy Boutilier - John Sawyer chances are they do, most serious car collectors know this already. so lets hope this person does & that all the cars do have the EIN numbers too. And he could end up with more then just a fine he could actually end up doing jail time too, it's happened before to many a people out there!!!

John Sawyer - I've spoken to many people whom are completely unaware of the change back in May.

Pass it on. Without an EIN number (basically a TAX ID) from the seller the vehicle will be seized and first offense is $10,000.00 fine plus denied entry back into USA.

Michael Sickboy Boutilier - Damn that's a pretty steep fine to be getting alone with denied entry back into the USA as well ta boot. Dang!!! Thx for the detailed info John Sawyer truly appreciated a whole lot kool kat.

Trent Steeves - He's owned the cars for awhile but still goes through a broker where he's crossing the border all the time, he's just bringing them home after having some work done on them.

Once again Bill and the gang put on an awesome weekend and did a great job getting the awards ceremonies moved along in great timing. This was our fourth year up and the first year we actually didn't win anything. But sitting in the shade on Sunday, browsing through some Canadian Hot Rod magazines and a cool drink in hand was definitely what this soul needed. Also got to meet a couple of people on my just had to meet list. Michael and Linda Irvine (incredible classic car artist) and Chad Hiltz and the lovely MJ from the Green Goblin shop. He had the Green Goblin vehicle there which was recently articled in a magazine.

Also got to spend some time with my Uncle and cousins who live in Dieppe. All and all one fantastic weekend in the memory bank. Hope you all had a great time if you were there.

Well we still get classic cars/vehicles registering on our website through out the year. Every so often we see a very unique vehicle register. Well the latest one will make you do a double take. How many of you own a classic... tank. Yes I said tank. Our newest registrant Stephen Philpitt from East Chezzetcook is exactly that person. Here are some of the details of the tank.

A British Classic anti tank missile launcher from the cvrt family of vehicles built in Coventry. Fully tracked and powered by an Jaquar 4.2 l car engine the 8 ton vehicle can reach speeds well in excess of 50 mph. These vehicles are built with a light aluminium hull and small size to allow for air mobile operations . Fitted with turn signals, mirrors and excellent handling this striker is currently road registered in the UK.

As quoted by Lonnie James "If your a gear head this is a must watch. Really need more collectors like this guy. This is what car passion is all about. Locking them up in a private museum is like putting them in jail". Well said Lonnie. Quite a nice collection. Click on the graphic to launch the video.

As you are well aware, the car hobbyist community in Nova Scotia has been advocating for some changes to the Motor Vehicle Act to better handle the issues of antique, modified and owner-built vehicles. The wish of most of the people that I have talked to is to have a more consistent and realistic set of registration guidelines so that owners know what to expect when contemplating building such vehicles or registering one of them.

In recent contact with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, I have been advised that despite the submissions made by various people, there has been no progress in moving these changes forward. Essentially, nothing has changed in the last year.

With the provincial election call over the weekend, I think it is time that we talked to the candidates and made them aware of the concerns we have. So, if you think there is a concern, please mention it to the candidates when they come looking for your vote.

Once the new government is elected, we'll ratchet up our contact with various levels to bring these changes to a successful conclusion.

This man owned & drove the same car for 82 YEARS. Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years? Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year ... at the age of 102!!! He was the oldest living owner of a car that was purchased new.

It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)...

1,070,000 that's miles not kilometres!! That's British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make them like this any more.

We received a notice of a Buick Roadmaster that was stolen from a dealership in Portland Oregon. A letter was sent to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection notifying them of the theft.

In keeping with the British theme, a game of cricket, an English lunch and tea, a show featuring Mr Bean, and traditional Scottish and English dancing will add to the fun.

Thanks Kyle, we are always looking for additional resources to add to our website. Last year we hit ONE MILLION web pages and it is help from our readers which make our website interesting to visit. Thanks again.

We pulled in and parked ourselves in the parking lot, got out and proceeded to dust of the spring dust and pollen off the car when beside me pulls in a 1969 Camaro RS/SS candy apple red in immaculate condition. My heart skips a beat. My dream car has just pulled up beside me and I get to oogle over it for the entire day. The owners Bob and Eama Denton from Brookfield give me an up close look at her and Eama even offered up the most delicious chocolate fudge that I have ever tasted. As in "The Night before Christmas" story, I had visions of 69 Camaro's dancing in my head that night. The rain held off an approximately 80+ vehicles showed up to make the show a success.

Lucky enough our new sponsors HiDefRods Rodger Evans was nearby and was able to capture the picture for us. If you are looking for an awesome showboard or collage pictures for your classic, be sure to give Roger a call or visit his website at www.hidefrods.com

But for those who either store their vehicles in their own garage or were able to persuade (that would be me!!) their storage manager to get at the vehicle earlier, the evening kicked off another classic cruising season in style with hopes of many more evenings like we had this evening. And by the way, if you see Lonnie and his gorgeous yellow challenger, don't mention NASCAR!! I accidentally did and well... lets just say, I shouldn't have. Hope to see you all out soon.

Sincerely,

We recently received an email from a classic car club in Russia. It was very interesting to hear from them to get a perspective on the classic car scene from half way around the world.

The New 789 Chevy! Thought you might enjoy this unusual Chevy. It's a '57, '58 & '59 Chevy all rolled into one! This car is built by N2A motors (No Two Alike). The company is planning a production run of about 100 vehicles.

It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis, front styled like a '57 Chevy, side like a '58, rear like a '59. And two tone paint. Hence the designation "789." Click here for a look!

This one could have significant impact on some vehicles, particularly "street rods" built from fiberglass bodies on custom frames. These are not "original" vehicles and as such may not meet the definition of "antique". There are lots of them in Nova Scotia with "antique Auto" plates at this time.

I am sad to say that the Quinpool Cruise 2010 Show & Shine was our last one, however we will continue with the actual Quinpool Cruise on Saturday Night. It will be now called Crusin’ Quinpool .

The first Quinpool Cruise was held in June of 2001 in front of my store, with about eighteen cars, some good ole‘ rock and roll music, and some BBQ food. It continued to grow over the years , at times we had as many as 140 cars at the Show and Shine, and sometimes we had upwards of 400 cars at the evening cruise. One year we were able to help a charity. We have even had the Mayor join us from time to time. Last year was our biggest show and we wanted to go out on a good note.

This year’s cruise will be held on Saturday, July 16 2011, 7:00 PM, meeting again at Pepperall Street , around Bens Bakery parking lot. We hope to leave around 7:30 and cruise to Point Pleasant Past, stay there until about 8.30 and then head to Water Street , from there to the Rotary and then back to Tim Hortons, Quinpool for an informal Show/ shine.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who have helped make this event successful over the years, especially : my good friends; Jon Clark, Gary Porter, Bob Newcomb and Ralph Snook.I would also like to thank the many sponsors that have helped us out financially over the years as well.

Thanks

So we are now in negotiations with GM Canada looking for a possible sponsorship for a new 350 cu. in motor. We are keeping our fingers crossed. However, we have been out to a few shows without the car. We attended the PEI Hot Rod Assoc. show in Montegue, PEI, Graves Island (Chester). Coastal Cruisers (Bridgewater) and are planning to be at the A & W Cruisin the DUB, this Thursday. If you want to see a lot of classics cars (last year was about 1800), drop down the A & W in Dartmouth (Woodside Ferry Terminal), you are surely in for a treat.

We had a trip planned to Florida and after talking with owner Rick Treworgy, found out that his Muscle Car City was only a couple of hours south of Orlando where we were staying. Well you can bet I inserted a day trip on our calendar and paid a visit to his museum. What an awesome collection is all I can say. I also had the pleasure and privilege to chat with owner Rick for about 20 minutes about the collection and how he finds his collectables. Check back soon for a web page of the pictures we took while we were there. In the picture is a 1969 Camaro RS/SS with a 396 cu. in. which is my dream muscle car. Check out his website at http://www.musclecarcity.net

This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in road worthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they removed them from service. Click on the photo for the story.

Last night the Quinpool Cruise was held and Mayor Peter Kelly accompanied organizer Mike Chambers in his red 1955 Chevy Station Wagon as they lead a convoy of classic cars through a tour downtown to Point Pleasant park and back to Quinpool Road. Maureen Wentzell's 67 Chevy El Camino was just one of the couple of hundred cars that made the cruise that many residents enjoyed along the way. In the past upwards to over 400 classic cars have participated in the cruise.

On Sunday from 8:00 til 4:00 pm see over 200 classic and specialty cars as they line Quinpool Road as well as celebrate the 28th anniversary of the Classic Chevy Club of NS. Other classic cars clubs participating will be the British Automobile Touring Association of NS, the Halifax Antique Car Club and the Vintage Motorcycle club.

MaritimeClassicCars.com 78 Nova made it's second visit to the Moncton Nationals and for the second time in a row, came home with one of the major prizes. Along with almost 1,800 other classic cars, and gorgeous weather for Friday & Saturday, we almost ended up coming home with a the new Chevy GM crate engine again!! With two prizes left to draw for, the numbers were drawn for the engine and a custom made classic car bed. I had heard two numbers drawn and neither one was mine so I thought it was over. With the rules being that you had to be in attendence to win, one of the prizes needed to have another number drawn. That next number was mine. As I was walking up to the stage, I wasn't sure which number had been drawn for again... my thought was "oh my god, did I win the engine again!!". But it was not to be, I had actually won the classic car bed. It is of a 1969 Cutlass and is valued at $1200. I do not have any young boys that I could give it to, so I am taking offers on the bed. Let me know if you are interested.
