TORONTO, ON – After two long years, Canada’s biggest indoor automotive enthusiast and motorsports show returns to Toronto’s International Centre this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

The Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors will fill more than 300,000 square feet of the venue with incredible vehicles, displays, car clubs, exhibitors and more.

Motorama is the continuation of an almost 50-year tradition of Hot Rod shows at the International Centre (6900 Airport Road, in Mississauga), across from Pearson Airport.

Custom Cars, Hot Rods, Classic Cars, Trucks, Exotics, Tuners, Rat Rods and racing vehicles of all kinds – including Stock Cars, Drag Cars, Road Racing cars, Sprint Cars and more – are spread throughout four big halls.

In addition to the almost 400 veh...

One of the special features at this year’s show is an extensive collection of incredible vehicles presented by Nick Panaritis of Indy Auto, in Laval, Quebec.

In addition to his shop, Nick Panaritis also hosts the ‘Nick’s Garage’ YouTube channel that features many of the machines that he’s worked on over the years.

The guys who raced him in the streets, back in the day, knew him as one of those brothers with the unbeatable Hemi. People hearing about him today are usually being given some very good advice on who to see for their engine rebuild project. Nick was bitten by the power bug early and was wrenching on cars in the alley behind his family’s home before the ink was dry on his first driver’s license.

Today, he has speed violations in every province and state… and operates one...

During the lead-up to the show, Motorama is conducting a series of shop tours, dropping in on builders who are working to get vehicles ready for the show.

In this visit, Motorama announcer Rick Seeley chats with Ron Partap of The Chassis Stop in Mississauga, Ontario.

Ron has been bringing cars to show at the International Centre for two decades. And as you’ll see in this video, he’s returning with another incredible vehicle, this year.

Partap has owned a 1967 Mustang GT 390 S-Code big block Fastback for a decade, but has been too busy working on other peoples’ cars to finish it. Until now.

The car features a dual rail chassis, and is powered by a 5...

For the members of the Brampton Street Rods car club, it will be just a short cruise down Airport Road to Toronto’s International Centre where, for the first time, these local hobbyists will be recognized as the Featured Club for the 7th Annual Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors Canada. The show takes place April 29, 30 & May 1.

Started by a group of friends and custom car hobbyists in 1987, the Gateway Cinema complex was the weekly meeting place for what was than called Brampton Rod and Custom.

“We had to change our name because people thought we were a speed shop,” laughed original club member Brian Sargeson. “That’s when we became the Brampton Street Rods.”

Shifting locations for their weekly cruise-ins over the years, most recently, the hobbyist...

“We’ve been working with our partners at The International Centre, and we think we’ve settled on an ideal situation,” said Motorama’s David Weber. “Through the cooperation of the venue and their suppliers, we’ve come up with a one-time plan to reschedule Motorama to a late April date...
