Topic: Lethbridge Street Wheelers Weekend - pics

[Arthur Dent]

Lethbridge Street Wheelers Weekend is the big event in Lethbridge - almost the whole town comes out - its crazy. Anyway there is a show and shine, cruise (they shutdown a couple major roads), drag races and auto-x. I didn't go to the drag races but did go to everything else.

err ... no. Probably ready for winter. Needs brake lines, some wiring, prop shaft and a zillion little details

Some nice looking vehicles for sure, same as everywhere across Canada with this old Hobby of collecting these older vehcles. A friend of mine had that 1955 Pontaic wagon years ago in the same colour. Nice to see again in that great of condition. That 1953 Monarch will have the old flathead engine in it with the 255 cid engine unless its been replaced at one time or another with the Ford version.

Monarch still has its stock motor and even the vacumn powered wipers! Talked to the owner for quite a while - he owns quite a few Canadian cars.
