With more than 100 classic cars and trucks on display, Saturday’s Show ‘n’ Shine put on by the Revelstoke Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada was probably the best one held here in at least the last 10 years.

All that classic iron came from across the region as their owners proudly showed them off to the crowds that converged on the downtown core under a perfect early summer sky.

The local chapter has a lot to be proud of with this excellent show. Just in case you didn’t manage to get downtown here are some of the vehicles were on display:
