Not a lot of sun but the Show ‘n’ Shine was still great
Everyone hoped for sunshine and warmth for this year’s Show & Shine, but — Hey! — it’s springtime in Revelstoke so you know the odds favour cool weather and a dash of rain. Of course, we know how to take things in stride and this year’s car show attracted a lot of attention, despite the on-and-off sprinkles. David F. Rooney photo

Everyone hoped for sunshine and warmth for this year’s Show & Shine, but — Hey! — it’s springtime in Revelstoke so you know the odds favour cool weather and a dash of rain. Of course, we know how to take things in stride and this year’s car show attracted a lot of attention, despite the on-and-off sprinkles.
This was one of the best car shows the Revelstoke chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada has staged in a while. But I’m biased. I think alltheir shows are good.
Here are some of the vehicles that caught and held by attention:
The Fire Rescue Service antique engine attracted lots of attention during the show. David F.

If you like the thought of being behind the wheel of this baby you should give him a call; it’s for sale. David F. Rooney photoThis gleaming engine compartment powers up a 1969 Barracuda. David F.

Those toys look pretty good for 46-year-olds, don’t they? And it’s no wonder once you consider they were restored at Easy End Auto Body. David F.
