| 2010-06-24 - MaritimeClassicCars.com Nova escorts young couple to the Prom. |
 With only a couple of days remaining to their highschool graduation Dance, Dean and Rebecca had their planned ride fall through at the last moment. Included in their search was a visit to MaritimeClassicCars.com. They contacted us to see if we could assist them in finding a drive to their Prom in a classic car. On a good day with plenty of notice it is still very hard to find a classic car and their driver who would be willing and available to help you out unless you personally know someone who owns one. After giving it serious thought about the situation they were in, we decided to help make their trip to the prom a memorable one and they generously offered gratitude for helping them out in the squeeze. Although we had a few showers, we joined them at the Dartmouth Commons for pictures and then swept them away for a classic cruise over to Halifax, around the beautiful Public Gardens and then off to the Prom. The young couple look marvelous as seen in the picture and we have been informed had a wonderful time at their Prom. Do you all remember your Prom Night? It brought back some very special memories.

|
Celebrity Dreamscape, in support of Phoenix, took place on Friday, May 14th at the Cunard Center in Halifax. The theme of this year’s gala fundraiser was a “70’s Disco Ball”. The Cunard Center was turned into a disco club! They were seeking the help of local classic car owners to help them add to their 70’s themed décor. The MaritimeClassicCars.com 1978 Nova was there with bells (bottom's !!??) on to help them out with their theme. As seen in the photo, the cool cats and gals found the car cool and just had to get their picture taken with her. Click on the image to enlarge. |

| 2010-05-01 - MaritimeClassicCars.com visit Muscle Car City |
Well a few months ago I received and e-mail telling me about a gentleman that had a collection of over 225 classic cars of which most of them being muscle cars. He had them stored in a warehouse, stacked on top of each other, squeezed together with the limited space he had. A few months later I found out that he purchased an old Wal-Mart store and created Muscle Car City. This museum now houses over 200 of his classics cars and includes a 50's style restaurant as well as a gift shop contains a large selection of classic and muscle car memorabilia.
We had a trip planned to Florida and after talking with owner Rick Treworgy, found out that his Muscle Car City was only a couple of hours south of Orlando where we were staying. Well you can bet I inserted a day trip on our calendar and paid a visit to his museum. What an awesome collection is all I can say. I also had the pleasure and privilege to chat with owner Rick for about 20 minutes about the collection and how he finds his collectables. Check back soon for a web page of the pictures we took while we were there. In the picture is a 1969 Camaro RS/SS with a 396 cu. in. which is my dream muscle car. Check out his website at http://www.musclecarcity.net |

| 2009-07-14 - MaritimeClassicCars.com Nova wins again at Moncton Nationals |
MaritimeClassicCars.com 78 Nova made it's second visit to the Moncton Nationals and for the second time in a row, came home with one of the major prizes.
 Along with almost 1,800 other classic cars, and gorgeous weather for Friday & Saturday, we almost ended up coming home with a the new Chevy GM crate engine again!! With two prizes left to draw for, the numbers were drawn for the engine and a custom made classic car bed. I had heard two numbers drawn and neither one was mine so I thought it was over. With the rules being that you had to be in attendence to win, one of the prizes needed to have another number drawn. That next number was mine. As I was walking up to the stage, I wasn't sure which number had been drawn for again... my thought was "oh my god, did I win the engine again!!". But it was not to be, I had actually won the classic car bed. It is of a 1969 Cutlass and is valued at $1200. I do not have any young boys that I could give it to, so I am taking offers on the bed. Let me know if you are interested. |

| 2008-07-14 - MaritimeClassicCars.com Nova wins big at Moncton Nationals |
This year was the first year that the MaritimeClassicCars.com 78 Nova attended the Moncton Nationals and it turned out to be a worthwhile visit.
 Along with 1810 other classic cars, and gorgeous weather both days, we ended up coming home with a brand spanking new Chevy GM crate engine. It was a 350 HO Deluxe with 330 horse power. The MaritimeClassicCars.com Nova is an all orginal matching numbers car and a difficult decision now has to be made... do I keep it original or drop the new 350 into her. Well after some further investigation of the power of this new engine and my existing drive train setup, it looks like it would take more work and dollars to drop this engine into the Nova than anticipated. The engine has been sold. |
