Nothing like a quick 12-hour round trip to Vernon, BC and back to island. (Actually up at 3 am to catch 5:15 am ferry and then caught 8:15 pm back to island) My buddy Keith found this 1963 Olds Super 88 Fiesta wagon (again I apologize to 2-door HT fans for calling it a Startfire in audio) on Facebook…he wants the electric window switches, mechanisms, etc and side glass and tailgate glass for spares for his 1961 Chevy Parkwood wagon project. I get the power bench seat and power antenna for my 61 Pontiac wagon…lots of interchangeable parts there…the trim is in great shape if someone was restoring one of these…we’ll be grabbing all we can off it. Deal was too good to pass up and we’re always up for a car related road trip. Thanks James for holding it for us and helping get it on the trailer.

Shop day. Hacking up the remains of a 61 BelAir 4-door (I said Biscayne in my audio…that is incorrect😂) to get the inner wheel tubs and a few other bits. What are you up to today? ☀️

So teaser for our annual Christmas-themed Jeff Norwell cover art for the Dec/Jan 2026 100-page blockbuster issue. Six great feature cars/show coverage/columns/tech. Digital version available tomorrow morning. Print issue going to press Thursday. Should be in mail to subscribers by end of next week and in stores by third week of November. Sorry can’t share full cover but just too many unscrupulous idiots out there that steal the art, remove our Canadian Hot Rods logo and use it as their Christmas card and share it all over the internet. I know someone will still do it but at least it won’t be from one of my posts. Sad. knocked it out of the park again.

Well I own another wagon. This is the other car that came with the 61 Pontiac 4- door I sold a few weeks ago…check out the video on my YouTube channel for more details. https://youtu.be//-SDw_nCBhaQ
