Father's Day
Car SHOW
2020
sponsored by Hagerty ®
Attend our car show - while you're safe at home
Even though most car shows have been cancelled for the summer due to COVID-19, our VIRTUAL Oceanside Car Show has been rocking it in time for Father’s Day!
Most of our friends around the island, BC, and indeed around the world in some cases, have submitted videos of their ride for you to see. It didn’t matter to us if your car is a work in progress, a rusty old thing out back, or a show car. We’re car guys. We like to see cars and talk about them endlessly.
We’ve included some unique B.C. car collections and a couple of businesses that support our hobby all year long… so check out the videos of all the amazing vehicles.
Please send all car show feedback to dave@oceansideautoappraisers.com.
Also, please note that video submissions are now closed as of the deadline, June 1, 2020.
THANK YOU for all your amazing contributions. Thanks to YOU, our Virtual car show has been a huge success!
Dave says thank you … and shows you his own car. Please make sure to watch till the very end… 🙂

1974 Datsun 260Z
Don bought his beautiful blue Datsun 260Z in 1974, so he’s had it for 46 years! All the hardware is original and all the numbers match. Oh, the Datsuns I remember…

Poor John had to fight against construction noises next door when making this video. But we can still hear how much he likes his ’70 Olds 442 convertible with a 455 V8.
1967 Datsun 2000 roadster
Kevin’s 1967 (and a half!) Datsun 2000 SRL 311/650 is fully restored with new rocker panels and rear wings, new interior and paint (and the mice have been evicted!)
1982 Mercedes 300 SD
Turbo-diesel engines like Richie’s have clocked up to a million miles – that means Richie’s car can go another 30 times around the world! Next party: the summer solstice!
1977 Corvette coupe T-top
Definitely a classic – Alan bought his beautiful white 1977 Corvette coupe T-top 21 years ago and has had a trouble-free ride since then. How many of us can say that?

1968 Pontiac GTO
Out of 500 Pontiac GTOs, Bob’s 1968 car won the silver award at the Seattle Concours judging a couple of years ago. He’s had it 36 years — it might even have been his first-born!

Nanaimo Lotus Elan
For those of us who were young boys in the ’60s, who can forget Emma Peel driving her Lotus Elan? I can’t. But although Emma moved on, there are still Lotus Elans around and Bill Rathlef has one of the originals. I’m officially jealous.
Steve McQueen's Jaguar XKSS
The King of Cool (Steve McQueen, not Jay Leno…) owned this Jaguar and Leno had it on loan for a day from the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and talks to the marketing director, Chris Brown.
Alfa vs. Mini
You’ll be on the edge of your seat. And you may use a four-letter word or two before it’s over.
But the question is: can a mini take on an Alfa Romeo at Goodwood and win?
Italian Classic Cars
If someone asked you to pick the 10 most beautiful Italian Classic Cars, would these be on your list? What others would you include?

Have a look at this restored 1970 Jaguar XKE roadster: inline six 4.2-liter inline-six, four-speed manual gearbox, added triple SU carburetors.
