15th Stratmore, Alberta Fun Runners S & S

[1Bad56]

Went to the 15th annual show in Strathmore, about 45 KMs east of Calgary this morning. Sunny and hot. Approx 125 rides came in, with a good majority of them muscle. Very few rods. There were three other shows today in and around Calgary.
Pics of the more interesting rides follow:

Now this was an very interesting combo. Owner has had this ride for 25 years. Its a Canadian 1954 Dodge Mayfair (114 inch WB VS US made Mayfair at 118 inch WB) with a flat 6. He was towing a trailer that converted into , yes, a tent and a boat.

The tent, poles and everything else fits inside, then the boat flips over to become the top.
The whole thing weighs 500 lbs.

That looks like you had a nice Day out OneBad56, That little trailer is a neat thing eh, someone spent some time designing that, real neat.

The pickup was the one that dropped a wheel near Cache Creek I think was the name of the town, Sqhd and myself went to town and picked up (well I just went along for the ride:D) the wheel studs while Davey Joe did his magic on the wheel studs, it's a trick little pickup.

Looks like a good show though and some nice weather, that always helps.

Thanks for the pics.

Cheers, John
