The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, in Mount Hope, Ontario, is one of my favorite places in Canada. They have an impressive collection of vintage warbids, and one of the only two flyworthy WWII Avro Lancaster in the world.
Every summer the museum hosts the Vintage Wheels and Wings, an amazing show where the visitors can cherish a gathering of classic cars and airplanes at the same time.
The 2023 edition of the show happened on Sunday, July 16th and the TCM crew (my wife Estela and I) went there to check it out.
The meeting starts at the parking lot, with some interesting cars that didn’t make the pre registration, like this 1973 Brazilian built Chevrolet Opala. The car belongs to Bruno “Chumbinho”, a Brazilian gearhead that moved to Canada in 2019 and the idea of leaving his classic Chevy behind never crossed his mind. You can check more about the car in his You Tube channel: https://youtube.com/@OpalaInCanada
Another cool car at the parking lot was this super wicked Buick GN.
It was an overcast Sunday morning, with chance of rain but fortunately it didn’t happen. We took quite a few pictures and also made a short video. I hope you will enjoy it.
With the prices of a vintage VW Bus reaching the Stratosphere now a days, some people are improvising. This guy converted a Japanese micro van (I couldn’t figured out the brand) into a VW Bus look alike. The job was well done and the tiny van looks awfully cute.
The Classic Machines 
Yes, you have captured cool classic cars here for certain, Rubens.

Thanks, Mark. I tried to avoid having people in the pics, but it was not easy. Sometimes I just included them as part of the shot.

I also loved the Gremlin, not only because of the big block but the paint job is really cool.

Looks like an fun show. My favorite in the video would be the blown Gremlin. Love the sound of a blown big block with a lumpy camshaft.
