Third Thursday Talk: Living in Oblivion - Cars of the 1980s and 1990s at CAM

  • Canadian Automotive Museum 99 Simcoe Street South Central Oshawa, ON, L1H 4G7 (map)

Only recently has the Canadian Automotive Museum started to focus on collecting cars of the 1980s and 1990s. These cars resonate with younger audiences and continue the museum's automotive narrative into the 21th century. Guest speaker Justin Sookraj will discuss the vehicles in the Canadian Automotive Museum's collection including the 1981 Plymouth Reliant, 1983 DeLorean, 1987 Magna Torrero, and 1999 Chevrolet Lumina. 

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events. Donors who make an annual contribution of over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt.
