By Gary Grant, Autoblog.com - Like Detroit, Oshawa, Ontario is known as the Motor City thanks to the presence of General Motors of Canada. The home of the Chevy Camaro also celebrates the month of August with a giant cruise. 2011 marked the 18th year for Autofest, which is hosted by the Motor City Car Club who have been hosting car shows since 1961.
The three day event began with a cruise party in The Shwa's downtown core, moving to the more appealing Lakeview Park for Saturday and Sunday. Not surprisingly, the General's Sixties and Seventies muscle was out in force, but there were hundreds of other cars on hand from old Euro rides to hydraulic equipped low rider pickups and just about everything in between. The vendor area was an unusual mix of garage toys, barbecues, ladies crafts (whatever that means) and even a Batmobile replica body up for sale. A still, cool breeze brought on by Irene to the south didn't keep the cars away when we visited on Sunday afternoon.
