MOTORAMA Custom Car and Motorsports Expo

Following a one-year hiatus, the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors will return to Toronto’s International Centre April 29, 30 & May 1, 2022! Motorama will fill more than 300,000 square feet with incredible custom cars, hot rods, racing vehicles of all kinds, classics, tuners, car clubs, builders, trucks, parts, collectibles vendors, and more.

“The 2020 show was cut short by the outbreak of the pandemic, and it’s been a very long ‘two weeks to flatten the curve,’” said the show’s promoters. “In the wake of the province announcing that shows like ours can now take place with 100% attendance capacity, and without vaccine certificate checks and masks, we’re very excited to be working on Motorama 2022.”

The reaction to the return of Motorama has been very positive. Car Co-Ordinator Gary Challice reports that many builders were busy during the pandemic – working on incredible creations – and they’re eager to show them off. As well, many of the province’s car clubs are anxious to return to Motorama, which has been the traditional car show season kick-off, for five decades.

The show’s headline celebrity guest will be ‘Bad’ Chad Hiltz, star of the TV show Bad Chad Customs. The creative Nova Scotia car builder and his partner Jolene will be at Motorama all three days, meeting showgoers, signing autographs and taking pictures.

Turning to the motorsports component of the show, the Ontario racing industry bounced back to life with 75% capacity crowds permitted during the second half of the 2021 season.

Riding high on this return to normalcy, Motorama’s Stoneridge Racing Zone presented by Inside Track will once again play host to tracks, series and manufacturers who are looking to connect with tens of thousands of fans and competitors making plans for the upcoming season.

The popular Zehr Insurance Mayhem… in the Backroom feature room will return for a third time, playing homage to traditional hot rods and custom cars, as well as the rockabilly lifestyle. Presented by ZEHR Insurance Brokers and under the guidance of Brandon Roberts – one of the promoters of the popular Jalopy Jam-Up – Mayhem’s vehicle line-up will include offerings from several car clubs and car owners.
