On February 3, 4 and 5, Speedorama returned to the Automotive Building in Toronto on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds. Speedorama's earlier press release said that the building was "rich with a vast historical heritage". You know what? No argument there. When I stepped into the building early on the Friday morning, I went hurtling back in time to other hot rod events that I attended with brother-in-law going waaaay back.

It's never easy taking quality pictures at inside events but I walked around equipped with a tripod and think the overall results are pretty good if I say so myself.

Look for Bill Snow's very cool Volvo 1800, Ed McLeans smoooth '32 roadster and Nick Minialoff's Great Eight competitor. The Roadmates were also out in full force in celebration of their 50th. Look for their "Road Well Travelled" and "Roadmates Alley". Our very best wishes to them.

Regarding Speedorama in general, you couldn't argue the major turnaround in content over recent years. There were lots of hot rods and customs on hand. Very nice change.
