For the past seven years, the Castrol SCP Auto Salon has risen to the occasion time and time again, delivering an all inclusive arena for top show car competitors to compete and top name manufacturers to showcase their wares. Scheduled for October 13th, 14th and 15th at the Olympic Stadium of Montreal, this year’s event promises to adapt once again to the fast changing landscape of the car customization market, and deliver an extravaganza unequalled by any other. It is SCP’s mission to provide the ultimate platform for enthusiasts, media and manufacturers alike to celebrate this shared passion for car customization.

“It is both an honor and a great responsibility being ranked the #1 car show in Canada.” States Ben Woo, National Director, Castrol SCP Auto Salon. “Manufacturers look to SCP for being the ultimate platform to launch new products and consumers react accordingly by waiting for this event to unveil the latest trends and technology in performance, mobile electronics and esthetics.”

As the only National Custom Car Association (NCCA) sanctioned event in Canada, this year’s edition has been granted the ultra-exclusive “Quad Point” status. The Castrol SCP Auto Salon is the only event in North America that has been given this opportunity, as the NCCA regards SCP as the premier destination for top car competitors from across the continent.

Another unique feature of the Castrol SCP Auto Salon is the “Future Shop Installer Challenge”. Now entering its 3rd year, this contest of man vs. man vs. machine is the only such competition of its kind in Canada. Witness two teams of four installers create a custom audio/video system into two brand new Toyota vehicles. Racing against the clock, this is a true showcase of what custom audio installation is all about. The “Future Shop Installer Challenge” gives spectators a realistic glimpse into the world of mobile electronics, and the work involved in doing it right.

Perhaps the most important feature of the event this year will be the unveiling of the “Top Tuner Solstice” presented by Castrol. The best tuners in Canada were gathered together to work on one project that would change history forever. In production since February of 2006, this highly anticipated show car is set to be revealed at noon in the Castrol booth. Without a question, this project represents the whole of the Canadian tuner market embodied into a single super-vehicle.

These and many more attractions await car fanatics at this year’s Castrol SCP Auto Salon. With a notable average attendance of over 55,000 spectators, SCP attracts more corporate vendor booths than any other automotive event in Canada. The passion for modified cars in full bloom this October in Montreal and the Castrol SCP Auto Salon will be there to nurture it.
