The Besant Show and Shine happened on a hot day, under the shade of the trees planted in the park by volunteers some 70 years ago.
The Tired Iron Car Club of Moose Jaw registered 133 vehicles of all sorts for the Sunday show just west of Moose Jaw.
Vehicles ranged from motorcycles to muscle cars, foreign models to vintage units.
An atypical car was Blair Mowchenko’s 1964 Austin Mini with the factory certified certificate.
Built to Canadian standard,s the Mini was advertised as “the traveller you can afford.”
The 1960s car featured front-wheel drive and four-wheel independent suspensions.
Larry Dickinson had his 1975 gull-wing door Bricklin at the show.
Barb and Randy Roman had their 1969 Caprice — a top of the line Chevy. That was the last year GM produced the 327 HP engine.
Alex Rockey had his restored 1978 Plymouth Arrow, an import from Mitsubishi of Japan built for Dodge.
A 1966 Chev Impala SS, one of only 281, was brought by Robert Heron of Cabri.
