Three Hills, Alberta hosts a car show in early June every year.
They rely on organization and volunteers to make this event work and this year was no exception.
MyStar was there and the selection of cars and trucks produced some great future owner’s story.

I found a 1965 Studebaker Cruiser with a definite family link. These cars are rare because Studebaker was on the ropes 61 years ago when this car left the showroom.
You’re in luck—MyStar will have the full biography behind this classic 60s four-door sedan in a few months. You won’t be disappointed because it’s about preserving both a car and its story.
I also found a 1967 Chevy II Nova at Three Hills. This car really stood out because it was completely stock.
You’ll learn how and why this one-owner time machine was dedicated to the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin Alberta. This story will answer many questions about what happens when a car goes to a museum. You’ll see it next month.
The third car I found was another Chevy II Nova, but this one was far from stock–and it was a 1963 version.
I didn’t get to meet the owner, but I did leave contact information because this was an owner’s story worth telling due to its long-term ownership.
I did see another car from the past at the show I needed to find.
It was a 1969 Super Bee story that I’d taken last year but didn’t get any pictures. Fortunately, it was hiding in plain sight at Three Hills.
Jim found a 1938 IHC brewery truck at the show. This old workhorse was spectacular, so it had a crowd around it the whole time.
It even had a few kegs in the back, but this truck is vastly different from the one that hauled beer almost 90s years ago. How different? You’ll find out later this year on MyStar.
Jim spotted one of the nicest ’55 Chevy panel trucks you’ll ever see. It was like a neon sign for bystanders because it was just that well presented.
You’ll have to wait a few months, but patience will reward you because this truck was done exceptionally well. The details will blow you away.
Jim’s last story was a 1947 Chevy 4000 five-window truck at the Three Hills show. This truck was a masterpiece because it had a transition period over the decades.
This evolution was practical because the owner wanted to drive it regularly, so there had to be upgrades. You’ll learn about the process and the end results later in 2026 when the story goes live.
The Three Hills show is one of the go-to shows in Central Alberta because participants know the event will run like clockwork.
They’ve added things over the years, but the local community works hard to make car show the biggest event of the year for the town. This year was a good example.
In other words, the town came through and the owners came through to make Three Hills the solid event it was again this year.
