THREE HILLS 2025—BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND

Jerry Admin

I’ve seen every form of weather at the Three Hills, Alberta Car Show over the last several decades, but yesterday’s show may have set a record for wind gusts.

That was the only negative because the Three Hills guys hosted another spectacular event even though they faced gale-force winds.

Yesterday’s show had to be close to a record turnout because the main street venue was extended another block. The railway side of the show stretched out to the end of the block—that’s an overflow area.

Three Hills is a small-town show with a big city vibe because it’s so spread out. This event is well-run and capitalizes on its proximity to major urban areas like Calgary.

I found a 1992 Fox-body Mustang LX at the show—this car had a lengthy relationship with its current owner.

His goal was to build a beastly road machine with great manners. He accomplished this over a long period of time, and it’s still a work-in-progress. Stay tuned for this story later this year on MyStarCollectorCar—it’s a good one.

The next story I found was a 1969 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible.

This story is one of those I-used-to-own-one plots. I like plot lines like that because you get a comparison between the past and the present…with a twist in this case. The car was in as-found condition after long storage, and it’s destined for a major road trip later this month. You’ll see the whole story later in 2025.  

There was a 1969 Charger next to the Plymouth at the show.

The Charger is owned by the Sport Fury owner’s brother and the big story behind this mint classic Mopar is what’s under the hood. It’s a pending MyStar owner’s story and with any luck, you’ll read about it later this year on MyStar.  

The final story I found was another Mopar.

This time the car was a 1970 ‘cuda. There’s a lengthy family connection to this classic E-body that goes back 45 years–and the story behind the Barracuda is a testimony to why you hang onto a classic. Look for this story later this year on MyStarCollectorCar.

Jim found a ’69 AMC SS AMX tribute car.

It has a track history, but now the AMX is tamed for the street—more or less. You don’t see these cars very often, so it’s going to make a classic MyStar owner’s story in 2025.

Jim also spotted a 1955 Ford F-100 radical custom,resto-mod pickup.

This truck is a star at every show, and it’s won many, many trophies at shows. There’s a reason for that—this is a next-level custom build. It’s going to be a welcome addition to the MyStar pages in 2025.

Jim found a 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster at the show.

This was a nut-and-bolt restoration, and it showed. You won’t see a nicer version of a classic post-war Chevy—it will be another great MyStar story later this year.

Jim’s last story was a 1952 GMC truck that drew a crowd at Three Hills.

This was a custom build 4×4 with an incredible attention to detail. This GMC is also a monster too–it goes as fast as it looks. 

The hurricane winds didn’t slow this show down—it was another classic Three Hills event.
