A Corvette driver was forced to back up and find a spot in public parking when they were, politely, denied admission to the 33rd Mopar Madness car show at Kwantlen Polytechic University in Langley City. It was, after all, a show devoted to Chrysler vehicles, and while some exceptions might be considered, another manufacturer was just out of the question, explained organizer Garry Keay. “We do accept anything with a Chrysler power or Chrysler chassis that’s basically a hot rod,” Keay told the Langley Advance Times.

For example, a 1953 Ford pickup that was expected to take part in the Sunday show sponsored by Willowbrook Chrysler would be allowed because it had a Chrysler Hemi engine in it, Keay said. But an all-GM product? “A Corvette just doesn’t cut it.

Sorry.” There were plenty of cool Chrysler creations on display, he noted, including a race Viper worth more than half a million dollars. “There’s all kinds of great stuff here.”

He also owns a ‘66 Satellite convertible, a ‘69 Road Runner, and a ‘71 Charger. “MoPar all the way,” he remarked. “Everyone’s into cars around Langley” MacLeod said, calling it ‘car-town.’

210 vehicles took part in Sunday’s event.
