Event Coverage: World Of Wheels 2013

1

Last weekend the 47th Annual Auto Value World Of Wheels took place at the BMO Center in Calgary Alberta, and contributing photographer Mike McConnell just so happened to be in attendance with his trusty DSLR.

Based on his coverage World of Wheels looks very similar to Performance World (now Megaspeed) here in Ontario. It caters mostly to classics –something I don’t mind at all– but every make, model, and style of build is welcome.

Mike sent through a great variety of photos that hopefully you will enjoy as much as I did.

Judging by the amount of photos Mike took of this Chevy 3100 I would say it’s one of his personal favorites

It’s really not very hard to see why

Still trying to convince myself I don’t want a motorcycle but bikes like this make that pretty difficult….

This finish on this car reminds me somewhat a build known as ‘Gold Rush‘ from Performance World a few years ago

This Ford almost looks like a Hot Wheels at this angle

Speaking of cars that look like Hot Wheels, this looks absolutely insane

So much chrome it’s difficult to tell what’s going on

Almost looks like a sand rail with street tires
