What a great way to start summer and attend one of the nicest outdoor car shows in this area and the country. It is said that this is Canada’s Largest Outdoor Car Show, the annual Fleetwood Country Cruize-In at the Steve Plunkett estate in London, Ontario. The estate is located at 9282 Elviage Dr. London, Ontario. This year the show will be on June 7, 8, & 9 2013.

The schedule this year’s event is as follows:

- Friday June 7th, there are four legendary artists performing their greatest hits. These are: Paul Revere and the Raiders, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, The Association, and Mitch Ryder. Tickets are $59.
- Saturday June 8th, the car show opens at 7am and runs till 5pm
- Saturday evening June 9th, there will be a dinner show with Bobby Vinton performing songs such as Roses Are Red, Blue Velvet, Melody of Love, and Mr. Lonely. Doors open a 6pm and tickets will be $89.
- Sunday June 9th, the car show continues from 7am till 4pm.
- General admission is $10 per person and all proceeds will be donated to charity.

Once again the Amphicar group, or floating motor boat cars as I call them, will be in and out of the ponds located on Steve’s golf course.

The car show itself has had well over3000 cars on display, with celebrity appearances by George Barris the “King of Kustomizers”, and American Graffiti stars, Bo Hopkins and Candy Clark, Gene Winfield legendary American Customizer, and “Miss Hurst” Linda Vaughn .

Steve Plunkett will also have is personal collection of cars on display for the public to view in two very nicely finished museums.

Fortunately the weather has co-operated for each of the years I have attended. There have been some dicey moments in past years including last year but the skies and Mother Nature always came through for this charity event. Hopefully the same will be true for this year’s event.

As always, there will be many unique custom cars and unique vehicles of every size and description on display. Last year George Barris have the Green Hornet on display for all to see as everyone entered the estate of Steve Plunkett. Who knows what exciting vehicles will be on display this year?

Below are several photos I from the show last year.
