Vancouver Auto Show boasts “best of the best”
Western Canada’s largest auto event, the 2008 Vancouver International Auto Show, March 29 – April 6 at BC Place Stadium, will feature a brand new competition that salutes the greatest automobiles in history.
The “Best Of The Best” will showcase three of the rarest and most valuable privately held vehicles in B.C.
1906 ZUST
Representing the Langley Good Times Cruise-In will be one of the rarest cars in the world — the 1906 ZUST that participated in the Great Race from New York to Paris in 1908.
“This is extremely exiting to have the ZUST on display,” says McGeachie.
“This car is a one-of-a-kind, and we’re thrilled our show guests will be able to see it in person.”
The ZUST, owned by a private collector in Ladysmith, B.C., will also be on display at 100th anniversary of the Great Race in New York.
The car will also be showcased at the Langley Good Times Cruise, September 6th, 2008 in Langley.
1936 Ford Club Cab
Representing the Annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show will be a spectacular 1936 Ford Club Cab.
The car, owned by Al Cameron of Merritt, is one of only 4,400 built.
One of the great British Marques of the 1930’s, the LG 45 was the first model produced under the direction of W. O Bentley after he joined Lagonda in 1935.
Approximately 25 Drop Head Coupes were produced.
Acquired and completely restored by a private collector in Vancouver, the ’36 Lagonda has received numerous awards, including First In Class at the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance and First Place, Senior Class; Classic Car Club of America, Grand Classic.
