Motorama 2025: Kicking Off Toronto’s Classic Car Season in Style

If you’re a gearhead in Canada, you know Motorama isn’t just another car show—it’s the show. The one that kicks off the classic car season in Toronto, the one that draws crowds so thick the line’s out the door, and the one where you get up close with some of the baddest builds in the country.

We were there, cameras rolling, soaking in every detail of the killer rides, meeting builders, and catching up with fellow car lovers. This year was extra special—it marked 50 years since the first Motion Custom Car Show at this very venue. And let me tell you, Motorama 2025 did not disappoint.

One Star of the Show: 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe

Among the sea of insane builds, one that stole the spotlight was the 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe. This wasn’t some trailer queen—it was a masterpiece of craftsmanship and vision, built by some of the best in the business.

Meet the Team Behind This Beast:

• Owner: Monty Gilchrist (Cruisin’ Creations & Restoration)
• Interior: Peter Giampa (Instagram)
• Concept Art: Matt Labutte (Brightwork Studio)
• Welding: Grant Schwartz (Instagram)
• Owner & Historian: Frank Colgoni (Canadian Rodder)

This wasn’t just a car—it was a statement. The level of detail was unreal, from the handcrafted metalwork to the killer interior. According to Frank Colgoni, who’s been into hot rods since before he could drive, this car is a dream come true:

"Personally, I happen to like 1932 Fords and have since before I had a driver’s license – more or less a lifelong passion." (Read more about the build here)
