2022: Oblivion Mall

For 2022, Oblivion took over a time-capsule mall in London, Ontario. Unrenovated since 1989, Westmount Shopping Centre’s broad halls and tall skylights offered a unique setting for pristine survivors ranging from a Lamborghini Countach 5000 to a delivery-mile EG Civic — the first off the line in Canada.

Due to be converted to office space in the near future, this event represented one of the last opportunities for this sort of event in a period-appropriate mall.

2021: Camp Oblivion

After a COVID-mandated hiatus, Oblivion returned for 2021 with a limited-capacity escape from the parents at summer camp. Hosted at Camp Omagh in Milton, ON, Camp Oblivion spread vehicles across the grounds and between the cabins of the sort of classic Ontario summer camp that so many of us visited in our youth.

2020: Oblivion at the Canadian International Auto Show

Mere weeks before COVID changed the face of the hobby, Oblivion hosted a small exhibit at the 2019 Canadian International Auto Show. With a curated set of vehicles selected for the show, fans voted the red Saab 900 as a vibrant final piece for this display. Nostalgists also got to dive into the Oblivion Arcade, featuring a broad selection of classics.

2019: Oblivion II at Ontario Place

A dream come true for many, Oblivion II spread out across the grounds of Ontario Place. Endearingly true to its shape and style when the money dried up, the pavilion was a perfect time capsule backdrop for the 1980s and 90s survivors displayed along the Toronto waterfront.
