In July of the 2013 the Canadian Chapter of the SunSet truck club hosted the aptly named “Battle At The Bridge” car and truck show in Lethbridge Alberta.
Like all great Western Canadian events contributing photographer Mike McConnell was on hand snapping away (his coverage also appears in the March 2014 issue of Mini Truckin’ Magazine), and based on what both he and Gabe of French Canadian Video have told me Battle At The Bridge is exactly the kind of event I would enjoy thoroughly. Great cars, great trucks, great people, and nothing but good times.
Perhaps one of these days I’ll be able to make a trip out to Calgary and check it out myself!
Start things off with this VIP Lexus that is no stranger to Mike’s lensThe Poor Form LS430 is also a familiar car here on SIEAlso showing with Poor Form was this gorgeous DatsunFrom the looks of things this car is absolutely spotless throughoutIt’s crazy how much forward movement gets introduced in VW suspension when you bag themJetta with tons of character
If you can get someone to bring an Esdel to your event you are doing something right!Whatever is going on with the door of this Monarch interests meContinental kittedI can’t recall the last time I saw an 88 Accord on the road…This ’53 Chevy looks to be off to a great start sitting low with what looks to be a Vortec motor between the railsHard to beat a great looking Impala Wagon like thisMagnum Tint from Red Deer Alberta laid outThis just might be the only Buick Century I’ve ever seen modifiedLooks great too…Late 90s Rams are also another vehicle I don’t see on the ground all that oftenRounding out the not so often seen on the ground is this F150
Hats off to whoever sprayed this truck! Looks phenomenal in the sunAbsolutely grounded.Perfect for the streets of Cali, or the grass of AlbertaSuper nice I.C.E. and management setup in the back of the car tooNot super crazy about the wheels on this personally but I do love seeing turbo hot rodsA little bit of rat styling goes a long way
Not sure why but this is one of my favourite photos of the set…Another simple yet awesome shot
I would love to see the looks on peoples faces as this car drives by well under their windowsIt would probably look a little like this actually…
Hell of a long reach up to this shift knobOne of the better graffiti covered vehicles I’ve seenI’ve always had a bit of a thing for up-sized Iroc wheelsThe Ghost flames are a great addition to this GMCAs I type this caption about this GMC Scottsdale I’m watching the Barrett Jackson auction which takes place in Scottsdale Arizona… weirdFlipped Colorado lights and ‘Cali combo’ completely change the rear of this s10
This bear a striking resemblance to the Air Assisted FordThe world needs more low duallys
I’m sure you all agreeSimply incredible c10, love the sledsAwesome switch box choice tooSpeaking of things are awesome this trophy is certainly one
Great looking bagged v8 powered Path Finder
Lady driven 78 or so MazdaThis truck was recently in an issue of Minitruckin magazine……It also happens to belong to Steve Woodward one of the main organizers of Battle At The BridgeIf you want to see more of this truck check out Mike’s full set of photos here
Going to close things out with this truck which I just love……of course I’ve always been a sucker for white walls, purple, and pinstriping
Event organizer Steve Woodward and myself have already been in talks about the 2014 Battle At The Bridge and I am looking forward to sending out some product to help support an awesome show!
Hey, I think that’s a V8 powered 4Runner..
Brett you’re right! I had a feeling that was incorrect but I couldn’t think of what it was
