This annual show is western Canada’s biggest indoor speciality vehicle extravaganza. Classics, custom, vintage, imports, racing, high performance,
street machines, and much more. More than 50 commercial exhibitors, 60 car clubs and 250 specialty vehicles.
Sponsored by longtime supporter, Lucas Oil Products of Canada, this year’s event will be action-packed, with more features, more entertainment and more live motorsport demos than ever before! Showcasing more than 250 of the Pacific Northwest’s finest Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Classics, Customs and Race Cars, the B.C. Classic & Custom Car Show will also feature numerous unveilings of custom car creations by some of Western Canada’s most talented car crafters. Also on hand will be representatives from 30-plus car clubs and more than 70 commercial displays from some of B.C.’s top automotive aftermarket companies.
Continuing with our theme ‘Cars, Stars & Guitars!’, we are very pleased to announce the encore appearances by both the ‘King of Kustomizers,’ Mr. George Barris, creator of the world famous Batmobile, courtesy of Killer Customs & Performance, AND Mr. Chip Foose, star of the hit TV series ‘Overhaulin’ and quite possibly the most well-known custom car creator on the planet. Chip will have a number of ‘Foose Design’ vehicles on display including the ‘Hemisfear,’ the incredible one-off custom street rod, which will be making its Canadian debut at the B.C. Classic & Custom Car Show (check it out online at www.foosedesign.com). Both George and Chip will be on hand the entire weekend signing autographs, posing for photos and selling their exclusive Barris Kustoms and Foose Design-brand merchandise.
First 1,000 fans through the doors each day will receive a complimentary pass to the drag races courtesy of Mission Raceway Park!

Look at the photo above very closely. It is NOT real; it is a 1/24 scale diorama constructed by Michael Paul Smith. I am absolutely blown away by the craftsman ship of his work. This is real art and talent. To see a complete slide show of his work click the link below.
