Camrose, Alberta Canada hosts an annual car show and this year’s was another success.
They have a big car culture in Camrose and it shows because this show has something from every corner of the car world.

That was why I spotted a 1976 Toyota Chinook camper at Camrose.
This is a cool vehicle, but its back story is even better because there’s a deep family connection with this little RV. That’s what motivated the owner to buy it—she wanted to continue the connection. Look for the story soon on MyStarCollectorCar.
There was also a 1968 Dodge Coronet 500 at the show.
This car also had a deep family connection, plus it was a very uniquely-optioned car. The story goes back to when the Coronet was brand new—look for it later this year on MyStar. You’ll learn why the original owner had seller’s remorse.
I also found another ’68 Mopar at Camrose. This was a 1968 Charger RT with low original miles.
It’s almost impossible to find a time capsule like this car, but there it was in Camrose. Spoiler alert—it’s going to stay a survivor. You’ll learn much more later this year on the pages of MyStar.
Jim tracked down a unicorn at Camrose. This 1962 Corvair convertible has been seen at many shows over the last few years, but the owner was never around his car.
Jim spotted the car coming into the show, so the owner was trapped into telling his story. It was worth the wait—this Corvair is unlike any you’ve ever seen. It’s going to be on MyStar in a few months.
Jim also found a 1969 Camaro SS at Camrose.
The owner wanted something cool that was also solid on the road because this car is a driver. It’s a highway-friendly car with a blue-chip heritage. Look for the story on MyStar later in 2025.
Jim took the story for a 1968 Mustang GT/CS that is one-of-one.
It’s rare, but that doesn’t stop the owner from driving the wheels off his rare pony car.That’s just part of the story behind this California Special Mustang—you’ll get all the details in a few months when it becomes a MyStar owner’s story.
The last story from Camrose was a 1977 GMC Jimmy.
Car guys already know how big the Squarebody Mafia is, so you’ll see a lot them at shows. Very few are as cool as this one because it was built to drive. How much was it built to drive? You’ll see the whole plot unfold later this year as a MyStar owner’s story.
Camrose is a show that has everything you want in an event and it starts with the people.
They are small-town friendly and they’ll help you track down an owner because everybody knows everybody in Camrose. That’s a big asset because locating an owner is one of the biggest mountains to climb in search of a car story.
The other thing about Camrose is organization–this is a well-run event. They’re also smart enough to host the show downtown,where you’ll still find heritage buildings and small businesses.
That’s why 2025 was another success story for Camrose.
