Classic Car Collection
This year's Lordco Auto Parts Classic Car Calendar is as much a tribute to the cars as to their owners and builders. Their passion, drive for perfection, and attention to detail cause us to pause, appreciate the past, and dream of what is possible.
January
Tim of DRVN Motorsports drove up to the shoot location on the outskirts of Calgary, Alberta in a 1959 Chevrolet Impala. As he rolled in, so did the dark clouds, announcing his arrival with rain. What would have been an ideal photoshoot backdrop—a golden summer field—quickly became a minefield of murky puddles and mud...
February
The 1950 Mercury Pickup stands high, holding its ground among every other big-power diesel drag truck and rat rod at Radical Diesel. The Calgary-based diesel repair and performance shop builds serious machines for its customers and to represent its brand, but this truck stands out, not only for its height, but its rarity...
March
The day is perfect. And so is Phil's car—elegant curves, gleaming chrome, dark ruby red paint, and a cream convertible top. You could admire the Mercury all day. Phil stops at the side of the road and airs out the vehicle, the sound of the air-ride suspension purge hints that there is more to this classic than its looks...
April
Les is on a deadline. He pushes the 1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda, knowing the waiting crew would hear the show car’s growing low-pitched rumble long before they caught sight of the distinctive shaker and grill. The muscle car and driver are making good time, closing the gap with a few minutes on the clock...
May
Some classic car owners can handle a little dirt on shiny paint. Some cannot. Rob quickly revealed which side of the fence he was sitting on. He was more than accommodating when approached with a last-minute add-on photo shoot location on a hardpan road littered with small stones...
June
Arbutus trees, symbols of strength and resilience, stretch from a precarious outlook towards the bright sun. Below, the Saanich Inlet plays with lights and shadows. The scenery is soft and informal until the Charger arrives like an escapee fresh off the assembly line...
July
It seems like every vehicle restoration story begins with an unexpected barn find forgotten and buried under decades of dust. But Rick had waited 40 years to own a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad. He had no patience for dust. For him, owning a Nomad was a lifelong pursuit that ended when...
August
A whisper of breeze stirs the tall grass growing defiantly on either side of the road. The day is far too hot for voluntary movement, but the 1930 Ford Model A Coupe is presently in motion. The Kamloops heat radiates off the gravel road, creating a shimmering curtain of haze. Beyond it, the view...
September
Rows of dark green, leafy kale, bordered on one side by a treed hill, follow the road, disappearing into the horizon. It is quiet and still. Then Clint appears in his 1962 Chevrolet Nova SS, drawing all eyes like steel to a magnet. The Nova, finished in GM Surf Blue, is a striking...
October
Parked on the runway, JF’s sculpted 1964 Buick Riviera, Rivision, looks like an arrow poised for flight—its pointed hood ready to slice through the air. With this build, JF's target was a Detroit Autorama Ridler Award. In the automotive world, winning a Riddler Award carries...
November
The tree-lined road stretched ahead like a living tunnel of green, arching over the 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS as it rolled toward the fairytale setting of Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Every fairytale needs a hero—and this story’s hero just arrived in style...
