TORONTO, ON // MARCH 9, 2019 • The fifth annual Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo is underway all this weekend at the International Centre, across from Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
Jammed with over 400 vehicles – plus exhibitors and displays – the Motorama judging team has identified ten special vehicles that are in contention for the Motorama Grand Champion Award, which will be announced on the Rust-Oleum Stage on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
The Pinty’s Canadian 10 represent a wide variety of vehicles. Nine of them are located in Hall 1 and can be identified by the large Pinty’s Canadian 10 teardrop banners placed by each. The tenth car is located in the new Mayhem ‘rockabilly’ room featuring traditional customs and hot rods.
Speaking about the new Pinty’s Canadian 10, Tony Spiteri said, “We’re very proud to be associated with this new program at Motorama. The entire show is jammed with incredible cars but The Pinty’s Canadian 10 are the finalists for the Motorama Grand Champion Award and represent some truly outstanding vehicles. Congratulations to all of the Pinty’s Canadian 10 finalists and good luck tomorrow. Regardless of the outcome, you should all be very proud. On behalf of everyone at Pinty’s, we thank you and all of the car owners in the show for displaying your amazing machines at Motorama.”
