Event Coverage: Cruisin For The Cure 2009
On September 13th, the day after Import fest, the 3rd annual Cruisin’ for a Cure charity car show took place at Chingauacousy park in Brampton Ontario. I have mentioned time and time again that I am a fan of charity car shows so I make a point to hit up as many as I can. Cruisin’ for the cure had a pretty decent turn out (although some cars had left by the time I arrived) and a few very unique cars.
The Possum
I saw this car on the road awhile back and wondered what the heck was going on a mural with some dudes face on the front of a tour bus, weird. Well turns out the Possum is a country singer names George Jones, or no show Jones when he is drinking.

Eco Friendly vehicles
Green cars are nothing new, people have been trying to make fuel efficient vehicles for years.
1958 Henikel Micro car
Pretty neat reading about these cars, smaller than the Isetta!
1981 Freeway HMV (High Mileage Vehicle)
$3500 brand new.
The Skorpion
I really should have talked to the owners of this vehicle but I figured I would be able to figure out what it was via google, product of working on the internet I guess, however I have not been able to figure out anything about this car. Can someone help me out?
Kit car perhaps?
I've never seen another one of these anywhwere
Sting Ray
This Sting Ray was pretty wild, I have never seen one with swing up doors before, the flame job is pretty dope though, wonder how old the owner is.
Realistic flames are always works of art
Doors would not have been my choice
The Triumph
This Triumph was awesome, I would really enjoy a ride in it.
My librarian in Elementary school drive a Triumph
However I am pretty sure his did not have this under the hood
Trucks
Thirty Eight Chevy Pickup
Best a/c ever
This is basically a train that goes on the highway
The plate says Bubba
350 TPI swapped 2 door blazer
It's interesting that older Chevy trucks used to be so round compared to what came later
Perfect execution
Muscle
White pala
Nothing but American iron
First red Barracuda I've seen
Growing up I loved these 76 Camaros They look a little dated now
These z28s however just get better with time
The new Camaros are nice for sure but I would still rather a classic
Good to see the new Chargers have almost as much presence as old
New Challenger R/T
Street Rods and Hot Rodbs
The owner of this rag top saw me coming and sat on the hood to give it a lower stance
Highboys always get lots of love from me
Lowboys get love too
Love the lines on this roadster
Another sweet custom rod whose origin I can't pin point
If you don't like Cobras something is wrong with you
You don't see T buckets done this well very often
This three window coupe had quite the laundry list of modifications
This interior is full of win
This was really unexpected

My friends Marc and Ian figured out what the “Skorpion” is. It is a ’71 pacer that’s been chopped and has a Ford 302 under the hood. Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7fm9xThkjE&feature=player_embedded
