Lordco Life

A steady stream of vehicles—each more unique than the last—rolled into Checkpoint’s Pop-up Shop 5. For the second year, Checkpoint partnered with Lordco Auto Parts to host the car meet and shopping event at Lordco’s head office and distribution centre in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The modern, cool-toned building served as the perfect backdrop to vehicles sporting eye-popping colour and one-of-a-kind customization.\nThis year's event proved to be even more popular th

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. \n\n1962 Chevrolet Nova SSPhotos by Zack PooleDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop| iPhoneThe Nova, finished in GM Surf Blue, is a striking contrast to the muted, earthy landscape.

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 blurs and softens—dreamlike and distant.\n\n1930 Ford Model A Coupe \nPhotos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop | iPhone\nThe Model A crests the hill and b

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 he came across a barn find well into the restoration process. \n1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad \nPhotos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop | iPhoneRick's obsession wit

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.  1967 Dodge Charger\nPhotos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop | iPhone\n\nThis view from the Malahat has not changed much over the years, and neither has Mike's 1967 Dodge Charger.

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. \n1971 Oldsmobile 442 W-30Photos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop | iPhoneBut then Rob waited 25 years to get a chance at restoring his 1971 Oldsmobile 442 W-30.

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.\n\n1970 Plymouth HEMI 'CudaPhotos by Zack PooleDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop | iPhone\n\nThe muscle car and driver are making good time, closing the gap with a few minutes on the clock before the photo shoot begins.

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. Phil pulls slowly into the photoshoot location in his California-original 1947 Mercury Convertible.\n1947 Mercury Convertible\nPhotos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper:&n

Kevin flicked the shop lights on bringing the behemoth to life. 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.\n1950 Mercury Pickup - February 2025 Car Calendar\nPhotos by Carson MontagueDownload Wallpaper: Android | Desktop
