Each year the excellent Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum hosts "Wings and Wheels", a car show hosted on their premises. Attendees can enter their cars for a small fee, and entry requirements are pretty liberal - only 1999 or younger, not the traditional 25 years+ for a classic. Admission to the show also includes access to their collection, which includes one of only two Avro Lancaster heavy bombers in flying condition in the world, and the only Canadian-designed operational jet fighter, the CF-100 Cannuck.
There was the usual over-supply of American muscle you find at car shows and the obligatory Dukes of Hazzard Charger replica, but some oddities and rarities as well, like a Bricklin SV-1 and a perfect Starsky and Hutch Torino replica.
Somewhat to my surprise, out of probably 250 cars there were only 3 vintage Benz's, mine, a friend's 560 SEC and a beautiful little W121.
