This event would not be possible without the help of our sponsors, the City of Kamloops, Kamloops Business Association and all the behind the scenes personnel. The participants are the ones that make the show, the ones that travel to our event and all the locals that enter

Message from the Premier As Premier of the Province of British Columbia, it gives me great pleasure to extend greetings to the community of Kamloops as everyone comes together for Hot Nite in the City (HNITC). I understand this year marks the 20th anniversary of HNITC. It is great to see how this event has grown over the years, bringing together not only automobile enthusiasts, but also people of all ages and backgrounds for this fun, family- friendly event. It is also great to know that over the years HNITC Society has been able to donate upwards of $40,000 back into the community. These donations have gone to support many incredible organizations, helping them to continue to serve the community

and positively impact so many people’s lives. Thank you to all the event organizers and volunteers for bringing this event to fruition each year. To all those visiting from outside Kamloops, I hope you will enjoy your stay and have a chance to explore some of the great beauty this region of the Province has to offer. Best wishes for a wonderful Hot Nite in the City! Sincerely, Christy Clark Premier

Club B.C. 1965, bbeing Cl b off B C IIt was created d iin 1965 i completed on April 29, 1965 for delivery to Sterne Motors of Vancouver, BC. The car spent the next 20 years with the rst owner in the Okanagan before moving to White Rock for ve years with the second owner. During this time the car was repainted a burgundy with black fenders from the original green color. As the car had covered 95,000 miles by this time the engine was tired and needed an overhaul, so a 2000 cc German Ford Pinto motor was substituted for the original 1600 cc English Ford Cortina motor, the larger motor producing more power. Ric has located the original motor and it remains in storage. Through the years he has maintained the car; interior re-upholstered in new leather in 2005, the original dashboard and instruments remaining; motor overhauled in 2006; suspension with all bushings, springs, king pins and shock absorbers replaced during the winter of 2011. With rot in the wooden frame worsening, a new frame was ordered from Morgan this past winter. The car was stripped down to the bare chassis and repairs were made to the chassis, and to the body before re-assembly. At this time new wiring and various other parts were re-placed as necessary. The car was also being re-painted again in maroon with dark blue fenders.

on Popove found a picture of the Nova at the swap meet in Chase in June 2010. He was able to track it down to a garage in Vernon where it had sat for about 10 years. After taking his wife over to see it and smelling the exhaust when it was rst red up, they purchased it. With the help of his son in law, Trevor, they gutted the car and a complete restoration was in progress beginning in the spring of 2011. A two-tone paint scheme was decided on and Trevor took to painting the car. The interior was completely redone including replacing the front bench seat with buckets, new headliner, carpets and dash. The interior was done by Rudy and Pete at Kamloops Upholstery. During the winter of 2011 the engine was replaced with a 383 Stroker that breaths with the help of the 2 1/2” Flowmaster exhaust. The engine and drivetrain were done by Doug Baird. They have put about 8000 km on it since the rebuild. 18 • Hotnite Show & Shine | 2014

1966 Chevelle SS 396 uss Forman had just turned 18 and had purchased himself his dream car — a 1967 Chevelle, beautiful dark blue with a light blue interior, 283 power glide. Behind every beautiful car is a great story, here’s his:

R

“After getting off work one day my cousin convinced me to drive over to the next small town for some church meetings, seems he was interested in a girl over there, of all things. So we hop in my car and over we go. After the service I was outside showing my car to a buddy of mine when this cute little thing, and I mean little —all 4’ 10 and ¾ inches of her —pulls up in the parking lot, after taking her Grandpa’s car for a spin. She walks over to me with the line, “I sure like your car, it sure looks nice.” I can’t really remember what I said in response. I was just trying to get over the fact that this little hotty in her short little mini-skirt was actually talking to me. Well 22 • Hotnite Show & Shine | 2014

my cousin’s romance never took off but the little cute one and mine did. Three months later we got engaged in the Chevelle and a year later we married. But being young and not having a lot of money we ended up having to sell her. Life went on — four kids and 35 years later still missing my car and now my wife was in the position to buy me another one. So the hunt was on and after two years and a ton of crappy cars I found “Melinda.” She is a 1966 Chevelle SS 396 with factory air conditioning, bucket seats, console and factory black vinyl roof and the best part is she is a survivor, having never been restored. So my beautiful wife of 37 years, knowing I gave up my dream car all those years ago for the sake of our family, bought me an even better one. It is only tting I named her after her.” -Russ Forman

Invasion of the semis his is the seventh year since the invasion of the Big Rigs at Hot Nite in the City. It started as a wish to show Kamloops the other side of trucking and a day the truckers could spend together showing their pride. It has grown into an opportunity for us all to understand a little about the person behind the wheel and their love of the road, their truck, and the industry. On Aug. 8 Fountain Tire on the Yellowhead will host the 3rd Annual Friday Night Lights where the night sights and sounds of the trucks are highlighted at 9 p.m. Drop on over after the cruise to enjoy this unique event. The passion and dedication necessary to participate in a show and shine is obvious. To add the sheer volume of a semi and the year round labour to maintain the working truck at this level is daunting. Truck shows are becoming more common for the working truck. Pro-Trucker Magazine holds the B.C. Big Rig weekend in Chilliwack in July, while Quesnel has the Cariboo Big Rig Show and Shine during Billy Barker Days.

b t the th specialty i lt trucks. t k They Th really ll are about fascinating and they love to share their hard work with you. Enter your name in the draw barrel for a chance to win a prize. Here’s a glimpse into the lifestyle of a show truck as told by Chester: From The Bush to the Snow “In my case, I am from Prince George, B.C. and to make it to the Show N Shine in Chilliwack or Kamloops, it takes a lot of work and a lack of sleep. I usually get all my wheels and tanks polished during the spring thaw when we have time off to get ready for show season. The truck is usually covered in dust or, worst case, mud so I try to keep up on the washing during the week prior to the show weekend. Once I unload my last load at the mill, I leave for my destination wherever that show may be. When I arrive, I get all washed up, and that usually takes about 4-5 hours depending on how dirty I was. Once parked at the show I get out the rags and tire shine and polish it all up which takes me another three hours, if I am lucky! Monday, it’s back to the bush.” When Chester is not busy working or polishing, he is organizing the Cariboo Show. He’s a great example of what this industry is all about.

1975 Dodge Dart Swinger

olin Swan is the owner of this 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger. His grandmother purchased this car off of the Dodge dealership in Penticton, and he inherited it in 1994 as a university graduation gift. It underwent some modication when he made it a little more “sporty” looking. Colin thinks this vehicle will be in the family for some time into the future, as his ve-year-old daughter Maya has already volunteered to take it off his hands when she is old enough to drive!
