Terry “Zeke” Maxwell is an old friend of Paul and Dorothy’s. Terry built the Pinto motor in the track T that’s in some of these pictures, but he’s probably more well known for his performance Camaro business, Zeke’s Automotive Performance, as well as SLP. He’s now working with John Scotti Muscle Cars.
Recently, he started adding some old pictures of the early days in Montreal hot rodding… specifically the Wheels of Time car club circa 1974 or 1975. The highway shots were taken on the road from Montreal QC to Waterdown ON (about an 800 mile round trip), which would happen frequently.

Cool photos! I always looking at photographs from back in the day.
Frank Malfara came across an old box of slides he thinks were taken by Rollie Guertin at car events throughout Southern Ontario.
He burned them to a DVD, and I’ve uploaded some to flickr. My dad could recognize Paul Dermo’s old car – but a lot have been forgotten. If you recognize anyone, (or anyone’s car) let me know!

Nice! I’ll have a look.
Thanks for the pics.

Hi again Rob
My dad went through the pictures and added the names that he knew… Bill Merkley would be someone else that would probably be able to fill in a lot of the names.
Thanks!

Thanks for the names! I had my dad look over my shoulder and add his 2 cents as well.
