While summer was in full swing in Ontario by mid-May, in Calgary it had
been hit & miss – mostly miss. However, on May 15, the weather was PERFECT
in Calgary with temps in the low 20s with lots of sun. We were in town to
promote The Canadian Hot Rod Tour and take part in The Rod Shop’s second
annual open house.
When we arrived at 7:30 a.m., the early birds were already there and, as
such, the event had started. And, why not, it was a fabulous morning. Over
the course of the day, we were delighted to connect with a pile of people
from previous tour events and from the Canadian Rodder forum. We were also
expecting the arrival of our coupe which was being shipped out to take
part in the Points West tour. It did arrive that morning but, as fate
would have it, we ended up selling it a few weeks later at the Calgary
auction.

Like the first open house, there was a great turn out with some very nice cars representing a cross section of the hobby. Classic Reflections
Coachworks drove up from Lakewood WA in the No. 1 CRC based on the ’62 Corvette. The Rod Shop is Canada’s only dealer/installer of the CRC
conversion package.
Entertainment was provided by Eve Hell & the Razors and The Rod Shop arranged for a fabulous pulled pork lunch. It was a fun day.

Tune channel that we filmed HERE.
