Besides its extensive collection of\u00a0antique gasoline pumps and signs<\/strong><\/a>, Calgary’s Gasoline Alley<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0museum has a fascinating assortment of cars and trucks!\u00a0 Many of these are unique, at least in my experience, as they were mostly collected from vehicles driven in Alberta.\u00a0 As such, you’ll see more trucks than at most car museums because trucks were (and still are) very important to Alberta’s economy.<\/p>\n

What follows are several galleries of photos of my favorite vehicles in Gasoline Alley’s collection — far from everything! \u00a0For the sake of organization and no other reason, I’ve divided them by year of manufacturing, the oldest first with newer vehicles to follow. \u00a0I could just as easily have divided them by brand, trucks versus cars, etc.<\/p>\n

The older I get, the more I enjoy studying old vehicles. \u00a0They are beautiful — works of moving art. \u00a0“They just don’t build them like that anymore” seems an appropriate observation. \u00a0I hope you like this tour of Alberta’s automotive history! <\/p>\n
