Len Racher is proud of his “Fodge,” a 1964 Ford Falcon with a 500-cubic-inch Dodge engine which produces 1,100 horsepower for quarter-mile racing. Racher and another person did a lot of the work to make it into a drag racer, including installing slick rear tires.

For sale? Maybe. Ed Wurtz of Enilda brought his 1958 Dodge Mayfair. Except for the battery, the car has all its original components, including a pushbutton automatic transmission. He’s had it for 10 years and may get it restored or sell it.

It was love at first sight for Jim Berry, when he bought his 2005 Honda Rune 1,800cc motorbike. It’s a limited production model and Berry believes its value will increase. He also brought his 1936 Ford pickup, which he bought in Duncan, B.C. two years ago.

Wayne Ferguson of Grimshaw is a nostalgia buff and decided to put together a theme based on 1956. His car is a 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder and A&W opened in 1956, so he collects items like the Root Bear and window tray.
