Canadian Automotive Museum -- March 2012

Oshawa, Ontario, has a rich automotive history, making it an appropriate venue for the Canadian Automotive Museum, about 50 miles north of Toronto. More than 60 vintage cars are on display there, including a good number that were produced in Canada. Many of the automotive gems are shown here. An asterisk (*) indicates that MORE BACKGROUND INFORMATION would be displayed when a thumbnail is clicked to enlarge it. Except for the 1931 Alfa Romeo and the 1937 Cadillac, cars made outside of Canada are presented chronologically here, by model year, followed by cars assembled or manufactured in Canada.

For more information about the museum, visit its page on the City of Oshawa's Web site -- http://www.oshawa.ca/tourism/can_mus.asp .

I took all the photos in this gallery with a handheld Nikon P7100 during my first visit to the museum on March 10, 2012. All have been resized for online viewing.
