SUNDRE 2025—THE PERFECT VENUE FOR A CAR SHOW

Jerry Admin

Sundre, Alberta Canada is located in the foothills next to the Rocky Mountains.

This is one of the most scenic venues in the world for a car show, so Sunday’s event had a big lineup of entries—this show has really grown.

I spotted a 1966 Imperial with a 44-year history under the same owner.

The best part of this story was how much he road-tripped this big Mopar. He didn’t believe in trailer queens, and he proves it every year behind the wheel of his massive Imperial. MyStar will feature this story later in 2025. 

The next story I found was a 1977 Super Cab Ford 350.

You’d expect the owner to be an older guy, but this truck was owned by a young female. She has a deep connection to old Ford trucks through her dad and she’s learning how to work on it under his watch. The best part? This beast is her daily driver–look for her story later this year. 

I also spotted a 1976 Monte Carlo at Sundre.

This car is also a daily driver in the real world and its owner loved the freedom that comes with a car that shows patina. He has plans to upgrade his Monte Carlo, but for now it’s just a reliable daily ride.

The last story is still pending.

It’s an ’59 El Camino on steroids—just the kind of story that works well on MyStar pages. With any luck, I’ll track down the owner and get the details behind his creation.

Jim found a 1964 GMC at the show.

The owner inherited the truck from his grandfather, and he’s turned it into a street machine unlike anything his grandpa drove. There are lots of good pieces to this story puzzle—look for it soon on MyStar.

Jim also spotted a 1965 Impala SS at Sundre.

This car has evolved since ’65 and now it’s an award-winning classic custom. It will be a great addition to the MyStar owner’s story collection in 2025.

There was an incredible 1940 Hudson at the show and Jim grabbed that story too.

The owner has had it since 1979, so there’s no problem with commitment to the car. It’s been resto-modded over the years, and MyStar will have all the details in a few months.

Jim found another great story—a 1951 Chevy 1300 pickup.

This truck was her grandfather’s, and it was a basket case—but it was also a family legacy. She got her hands dirty on this project to save the truck. It’s going to be a solid MyStar story later this year.        

Jim’s last story was a 1952 IHC L110.

There is a deep IHC connection to the owner’s family and that drove this owner to build a classic truck as a tribute to his dad’s memory. That’s another excellent future MyStar story.

The location was perfect, and the stories were great. That’s what’s called a solid day on the job.

Sundre came through in a big way.
