Cool video! A little before my time, but still recognize many land marks from my childhood and some still there today.

That was SO good!

And all those cars....

Any bets the 63 Impala 4 door hardtop near the start is a 300 horse 327? Dual exhaust, rear antenna, grille guard and rear bumper guards. Nicely equipped car.

 And they're the nasty ones with the black borders too. At least the later years had a clear border.

 I think almost all the way from Thunder Bay to the Rockies.

Common sight around here and certainly NW Ontario is every bit as cold as southern Manitoba.

Good video.

Maybe that 63 was a 409?

An awful lot of really clean cars, due to being very cold and no salt?

We always used a block heater in all cars back then in PEI, winter was 20f to -20f, sometimes be-20f. it stayed below freezing from December to some time in March when it turned to mud season, you couldnt drive on a dirt road for weeks, except on a farm tractor. A 4wd vehicle did not have enough ground clearance for the mud.
