Unfortunately, there is no longer an Old Car Trader Magazine for Canadian car buyers and sellers. However, there are several resources that can help you find a Canadian classic or antique vehicle.
What Happened to This Magazine?
Until recent years, Trader Corporation printed a magazine called Classic and Antique Trader, also known as Old Car Trader. According to an article in the Toronto Globe and Mail, Trader Corporation decided that car buyers found the print version of its service less useful than online car shopping tools. It discontinued printing of all magazine-format Trader publications after June, 2012.
You can still use the Auto Trader website, run by the Trader Corporation, to search for used cars in Canada; however, the site does not have a section specific to classic cars.

Fortunately, there are a number of websites that specialize in helping Canadian buyers find the classic car of their dreams. Consider one of the following resources:
