On June 2, 2013 from 10am to 3pm, an exclusive vintage automobil show was hosted at the By Ward Market. This is an annual event affectionately dubbed ByWard Market Auto Classic. According to Wiki, ByWard Market is Canada's oldest continuously operating farmers' market, regulated by the City of Ottawa.The market building is open year-round, and open-air stalls are operated in the warmer months offering fresh produce and flowers.
So on Sunday, after church, we found ourselves downtown looking at vintage classic cars. But we were so hungry we found it pleasurable to visit Tuckers Marketplace for a very satisfying Buffet Breakfast. This is a fantastic place always packed with people enjoying some of the unique menus on offer. If you happen to be in Ottawa, make sure to visit this place. Check out one of the food displays below.
Opps, sorry for getting carried away with the idea of food. Back to the car show. After looking at a lot of cars my pick of the day was the 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado 2-door Convertible. Honestly, this was my first time to take a serious look at such a long (5629mm) 2-door convertible. The car was also very wide (2027mm) and boasted of a very comfortable wheel base of over three meters. It was interesting to note that this car was front wheel drive powered by a 365 horse power eight cylinder engine mated to a 3 speed gearbox. This car's top speed was said to be 184km/h with a reasonable sprint power of 0-60 mph in 9.4 seconds. for more info visit this Web www.automobile-catalog.com.

Many cars were customized and had a lot of after-market accessories in line with the appetite of the owner. Some truly went to fanatical levels like this Honda Accord. The owner told me that he was a mechanical engineer who enjoyed modifying cars.
