The Muskoka Motor Club Car Show

Now in its 3rd Summer The Muskoka Club has a simple mandate: All things Motor and all things Muskoka. With its beautiful lakes and winding roads and its tradition of boating, The Club strives to bring together people who not only love but actively use both unique cars and boats in Muskoka. 

This makes the Muskoka Motor Club Car Show an Ideal addition to the ACBS-Toronto Boat Show.  At this year’s show the cars will range from a Brass Era beauty from 1913 to some contemporary customized Mercedes Benzs. And in between, old pickup trucks, Model A's, a vintage Rolls Royce, Hot Rods, a Dodge M37 military truck, and classic Porsches.
