On May 26th 2009, an announcement was made about the new ownership of Performance World Custom Car & Truck Show.

Excerpt of press release: Canada’s largest in door Custom Car show has been presenting the best in custom cars and trucks since 1964, at the Toronto International Centre. The previous owners have passed the torch onto a group of car enthusiasts committed to the industry and hobby, who will be managing the day to day business for The Justus Group Inc. This new life blood will ensure incredible visibility this year and in the years to come with its “Take it to the Streets” promotion campaign, as well as a grass roots enthusiast approach to the business. “We want to build a business to support the hobby and its enthusiasts. Today we are looking at all aspects of the economy, the industry and the ability to deliver the best cars, vendors, and entertainment value for our partners”.

With PW now in the hands of car enthusiasts, look for a bright future for this long-running show. We’re happy to have them on board as a 2009 Canadian Hot Rod Tour sponsor. Complete release HERE.

Frank, FYI, The only custom car show in 1964 was Speed Sport, it started in 1960 and ran into the eighties, Performance World was not concieved until 1990, as I was part of this new begining, Motion was started in 1974 by Dizzy Dean Murray. Speedorama was started in officially in 1984, but ran earlier as A Racers parts and trade show in the Markham Fair Grounds and at the International Centre, so I cannot see where established in 1964 came from?
