2018 PROFILES

What's the opposite of a snow bird ?

While we Canadians flock south to escape winter snow,
this Floridian migrates north to escape summer hurricanes.
You may not call these wings,
but this beauty sure can fly.

BEST MODERN MUSCLE

1953 MG	1984 Excalibur Though not documented in history, it looks like one influenced the other.
1963 Ford F250 4X4 dually Used by a working bee keeper MISS BEE HAVEN. Thank you for what you do with this truck.	1946 Chevy Thank you for what you DON’T do with this truck. It would be a shame to get it dirty.

Participants and spectators had new things to do at this year's car show. They checked out hundreds of gorgeous cars, of course... but also got to enjoy the breeze and the view or play Edith Ann (remember Lily Tomlin’s skits on the TV show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” from the ’60’s and ’70’s ?)
They could also experience the “Great Caboosescape” to see if they could escape the freight. www.escapebrockville.com
Some sought out the coolness of Brockville's Railway Tunnel - Canada’s 1st - 1860. In this case, COOL means not only temperature on a hot day, but lights and sound to make you think GET OUT OF THE WAY - A TRAIN IS COMING !! www.brockvillerailwaytunnel.com
Others took their curiosity to ELECTRIC AVENUE.

NEW THIS YEAR Some cars came down from Ottawa to show us what the future is supposed to bring.
2017 Chevy Volt	2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV	2013 Tesla S
These 1st 2 are able to get home with no hassles because Brockville has generic charging stations and, of course, gas stations.		The P85 can do 0 to 60 MPH in 4.1 seconds and a ¼ mile in 12.6 seconds. Not bad ! That’s right up there with the old boys. But SORRY Tesla - Brockville just isn’t ready for you yet - no TESLA charging stations.
If you kept looking -- around the corner -- you found ...
1966 Chevy C-10 This looks like a fun project. This is how the Big Kids Tinker with Toys !
