If you spend any amount of time in the Alberni Valley, especially during the warmer months, or when the sun is out and the roads are dry, you will quickly come to realize that this is an antique automobile paradise!

Back in the day, the Valley consisted of two towns (Alberni in the North and the city of Port Alberni in the south), intersected by Rogers Creek. This was a mill Valley with everyone was directly or indirectly affected by the great paying jobs the forestry sector had to offer. Fast forward several decades later, the two communities have amalgamated to become Port Alberni, and one of the most telling remnants of the pride this community has had of it's legacy are the antique cars and trucks that drive the streets and participate in any number of yearly events. From Show 'n Shines to road cruises a mile long, the community loves its old cars and are sure to come out and take a peek.

Thunder in the Valley
In 2010 I was invited to come out to the Alberni Valley Airport and spend the weekend taking photos of "Thunder In The Valley". This was the first time I had ever been to a drag racing event and it was a thrill and a highlight of my summer.

If antique autos are for you, be sure to check out the Antique Truck shows. The volunteers who operate the Industrial Heritage Societies collection of city owned trucks would love to hear from you. Visit the Industrial Heritage page to see what is in the Valley's collection of heritage or select the links to see a specific Antique TruckShow

There are many times when I have had the opportunity to take images of classic automobiles in other settings. Sometimes those settings are staged for the photos and sometimes the automobile is parked in a great location.
