A SUMMER PLACE BECKONS ONCE AGAIN—THE MULHURST 2026 CAR SHOW

Jerry Admin

The MyStar guys have been going to Mulhurst Bay, Alberta for their annual car show since 2014.

It’s been called the ultimate summer place every year–and this year was no exception because the weather was spectacular and the summer vibe was off the charts once again.

They start with a parade full of classic iron, kids and candy, so it’s like a summer Halloween party. This year was no exception because the parade was packed with all three of those things.

They host the show on grass ,so that makes it car guy heaven and the place was filled with old iron of all types.

I found a gem in the form of a 1935 Hupmobile 518 Deluxe with a big family connection. This is one of the least likely cars you’d see at a show like Mulhurst.

There are many chapters to this story, but you’ll have to wait until 2027 to see it on MyStar. You’ll learn everything about this legend in the new year.

I also found another rare car. It was a 1949 Meteor two-door sedan, and astute car guys know this is the first year for this Canadian-only shoebox Ford.

There’s something radically different under the sheet metal of this car and you’ll learn all you need to know next year when it becomes a MyStar owner’s story.

Jim found a 1979 Plymouth Road Runner—another car you won’t see at most car shows because they didn’t build many. That’s why Jim took the story—he found out it has far more of a history than expected.

There was a 1961 Comet four-door sedan at the Mulhurst show. The MyStar guys are drawn to four-door sedans like moths to a light–there are good reasons for that attraction.

Four-door sedans always have good stories behind them, because no one saves a four-door without a good reason. As expected, this little Comet had a great back story, and you’ll see it in 2027.

Jim found a classic 1939 Mercury four-door sedan with another great story behind it. These cars are much rarer than their ’39 Ford cousins, so that was one of many reasons to get the story.

This one has a major and complicated story line about goals and build times, so it was a great fit as a future MyStar owner’s story. You’ll see it next year—count on it.

There are many car shows on the circuit every year, so MyStar sees every form of venue for these events.

Some are held downtown; some are held in parking lots; some are held on parks; and they all have their own appeal. That’s because old cars have their own appeal.

In Mulhurst Bay’s case, the cars are the reason for MyStar to show up, but the timeless appeal of an old-school resort town that has a slower pace is a big selling point.

The other thing is the community spirit because the whole village gets behind this event. That, plus the timing on a long weekend, makes this event a true summer place event.

Mulhurst Bay brought its A-game once again.
