Classic cars are set to roll in alongside the heritage trains at the Railway Museum of British Columbia this Saturday.
The family-friendly is on Saturday, July 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The special event is included into the museum.
J. Singh Biln, vice-president of the West Coast Railway Association, which operates the museum, has been an organizer of a classic car show downtown for the last couple of years, but this is the event鈥檚 first year at the museum.
"We started off with 30 cars two years ago and went up to 45 cars last year," he said, adding organizers are expecting about 60 vintage vehicles鈥攃ars, trucks and motorcycles鈥攁t the upcoming event.
"Anything that has wheels on it and runs by itself," he said.
Of the oldies expected are 小蓝视频 Jaguar & MG Club vehicles, local Squamish classic cars, including Biln's own, a rebuilt 1966 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe (SD), and bikes from members of the 小蓝视频 Classic Motorcycle Club.
Because it is at the museum, this is the first time participants have to, with fees ranging from $40 to $100, with the latter including a canopy, table, two chairs and passes to the museum for two representatives.
The museum's include the Royal Hudson 2860 steam locomotive, a Canadian Pacific FP7A Diesel 4069, Canadian National FP9A Diesel 6520, Pacific Great Eastern RS3 Diesel 561, a Canadian Pacific 6503 S3 switcher, and a Canadian business car, among several others.
Biln notes that participants can pay in advance or at the gate on the day of the show.
(Participants are asked to arrive with their vehicle no later than 8 a.m. on Saturday.)
The Squamish Lions Club is running a barbecue for the event and there will be a food truck for hungry attendees.
Biln said the hope is this car show continues to grow and becomes an annual event at its new location.
The railway museum is located at 39645 Government Rd., Squamish.
