Cremona Alberta Canada lies in the foothills near the Rocky Mountains.
That makes it a great location for a car show because location is a key part of a successful event.

Cremona hosts this event on their main street so they have a row of cars up the middle. That opens up more space and it makes for a good photo op.
I found a 1972 Opel GT that was as far removed from stock as Clark Kent is from Superman.
This was a combination street and strip monster that’s destined to run on tracks and freeways. It was one of those projects that fell into the current owner’s hands. Fortunately, he’s a pro with track cars, so you could see this car coming to a highway near you. Look for it next year on MyStar.
I also spotted a 1967 Corvair Corsa convertible at Cremona.
This was another took-apart-but-not-reassembled project car. The current owner had the talent to rescue this Corvair from a grim future. Get the whole story next year on MyStar.
I also found a 1968 Barracuda fastback at the show.
This car was really well done, and it had a few non-factory things going on. Unfortunately, this owner wasn’t around, so I left a card. I did hear from the owner so you can count on reading about this classic Mopar in 2026.
Jim spotted a 1978 Pontiac Safari wagon with a brute-force big block under the hood.
Experts in the 1978 Pontiac Safari world will spot something amiss with this car. If you’re not an expert, you’ll learn the answer next year when the story goes live on MyStar.
Jim also found a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL two-door hardtop with a very dedicated owner.
He’s a huge fan of these cars and you’ll learn why in 2026 on MyStar. These cars are becoming rare than honesty in politics, and this one was exceptionally rare. You’ll see the story on MyStar in ’26.
Jim spotted a 1963 GMC with an incredible back story.
I can give you some basic clues on the plot—it’s a lost-and-found story with deep family connections. It should be a Hallmark TV story, but it’s going to be something even better. It’s going to be a future MyStar owner’s story in 2026.
Jim took a story about a 1979 Lincoln Mk IV that’s unlike any ’79 Lincoln you’ve ever seen.
It’s a custom flower car—if you don’t know what a flower car is, you’ll learn what it is when the story goes live on MyStar in 2026.
Jim also found a 1970 Chevy with a missing owner.
This looked like a barn find car with some interesting custom touches. It was in original condition and it’s exactly the kind of car that makes the MyStar lineup. The owner was found through a business card Jim left behind, so it’s a go as a MyStar feature in ’26.
Cremona is one of those car show success stories because the early September weather is predictably nice and the event is well organized.
I predicted success for this show the first time I went to it a few years ago. 2025 proves the point.
