The Vancouver Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada holds a car rally on Easter Sunday in the morning at Trev Deeley Motorcycles on Boundary Road.
A number of years ago the event used to take place in front of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. More recently, however, its starting venue is in the parking lot of the popular motorcycle dealership instead.

ALL BRITISH FIELD MEET
The Vancouver Easter Vintage Car Rally isn’t the only event in the spring where you can see lots of incredible vintage cars. One of the Lower Mainland’s biggest, best and most impressive car shows takes place in May. If you like collectible vehicles, especially British ones, then you definitely want to check out the All British Field Meet at VanDusen Garden! In 2025 it happens on May 17th. It’s an amazing event!
Vintage Car Club Easter Gathering
Collectible vintage cars and their owners gather in the parking lot of Trev Deeley Motorcycles on Easter Sunday each year. The dealership is at 1875 Boundary Road (which is on the border between Vancouver and Burnaby).
Over 70 collectible vehicles typically show up at the motorcycle dealership in the morning. They then set off on a “mystery drive” to a yet-to-be-disclosed location.
Expect to see dozens of beautiful antique and other classic vehicles turn out for the event. Many hundreds of people do as well.
About the Car Rally
Vehicles typically arrive between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. The venue’s parking lot scene is spectacular! You don’t need to be a vintage car enthusiast to appreciate the collection of automobiles on display.
At the event there is everything – from antique Fords to Corvettes, Firebirds and every kind of vintage collectible you can imagine.
At around noon the cars depart from their starting venue in procession, for a road tour around the city to a final secret destination. It’s a fun event for the vintage car participants, but also for everyone who sees them.
