The Atlantic Nationals Car Show is on in Moncton this weekend, with hundreds of cars on display, and thousands of spectators taking it all in.
Cars from 10 provinces have come to the four-day event, most from the Maritimes, and some from Quebec, Ontario and from the northeastern United States.
Besides the spectacular hot rods and classic cars on display, there are seminars being conducted on maintaining cars, and vendors are selling everything from car posters to car parts.
Organizers believe the show is one of the city's largest events, generating large economic spin-off for local businesses.
The event wraps up Sunday, and one lucky person will win a refurbished 1932 Ford Roadster.
