One of Moose Jaw’s most popular annual Father's Day traditions made its return to Wakamow Valley on Sunday afternoon as over 100 vehicles of all makes and vintages took part in the “Those Guys” Car Club Bent Wrench Show and Shine.
The weather might have been a touch disagreeable with rain on and off throughout the day -- leading to many an owner breaking out the chamois to keep their paint and chrome as pristine as possible -- but that didn’t stop thousands of folks from making the trip into the valley for the show.
They were treated to a sampling of pretty much everything under the sun, including a near-original 1929 Ford Model A, 1950s tail-fin classics from Chevrolet and Chrysler, a 1964 Austin Mini Countryman, just to name a few of the vintage looks on site.
Then you had the modern and modified beasts, like a 760-horsepower 1967 Pontaic Beaumont, 600-horsepower 2018 Mustang GT 500 and perhaps the sleeper of the event, an engine-swapped 1991 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon with more than 500 horses under the hood.
The weekend began with the Bent Wrench Run on Saturday night, which saw many of the vehicles in Sunday’s car show cruising up and down Main Street, much to the delight of many onlookers who brought lawn chairs to take in the proceedings.
The show and shine marked a return to Wakamow Valley, too, after taking the last two years off due to the pandemic.
Here’s a selection of some of the sights from the afternoon!
