2019 Toronto International Film Festival, Part III: The Cars

Canadian Automobile Museum

This museum is located about 60 km (38 miles) east of Toronto in Oshawa. Oshawa is where General Motors once had a factory. The admission price was only $12! This parade of cars is the same on my Instagram as these are the only cars I wrote descriptions for.

1965 Amphicar with 84 miles.

Mercedes-Benz AMG CL65 (12-cylinder) 

Ultra rare 2018 BMW M3 CS

I saw the M3 designation on the back of the car with an additional two letters, CS. This immediately grabbed my attention. The driver was sitting in his car, so I mentioned for him to roll down the window. We ended up chatting about this very special BMW for a good 10 minutes (I included a link to Car and Drivers review under the photo).

If you were able to secure, 1 of only 1200 manufactured, you will need at least $100.000 to convince the dealer to hand you the keys.

Shelby Mustang GT350

Two more Lamborghini Gallardos

I heard this McLaren from 15 floors up!

2018 Toronto International Film Festival, Part IV: The Cars

It seems when we attend a film festival, the exotic cars seem to break free of their garages and start prowling the streets. I really don't care why there seems to be an influx, as long I can salivate over them.

This will do! My cousin Nick got his grubby paws on a 2019 Mercedes-Benx GT-R. It is your basic 4.0 litre, twin-turbo V8, 577 horsepower, sub 4-second 0-60, 319 kph, $157.000 grocery getter. 

The pictures do not do the stunning color justice. You have to see it with your own eyes.

1946 Cadillac

1950s Chevrolet Bel Air convertible 

Aston Martin Vantage

Bonus! Cousin Nick scored free tickets to The Petersen Museum. Every car enthusiast has to visit this temple of classic and rare automobiles. In 2015, I took the Vault Tour. They take you downstairs in an elevator to the basement. This tour contains the rarest of the rare, automobiles formerly owned by celebrities, cars from movies and television, and from every period of car manufacturing. The only stipulation of the tours is you cannot take any photos. They don't want thieves getting the layout of the security system.

Due to the Coronavirus, The Petersen Museum is currently closed. However, they posted a video of the Vault Tour. You can view the tour here.

One of the rarest and most coveted in automobile history, a 1963 Ferrari GTO. Want one? The last three that sold at auction commanded prices of, $45.000.000, $52.000.000, and $70.000.000.
