The Columbia Valley Classics Autumn Show and Shine has, for more than twenty years, drawn thousands of classic car enthusiasts to the Columbia Valley on the third weekend in September. They come to the popular car show from all over BC, as far as Ontario and down into the United States. They come to show off their lovingly restored automobiles, trucks and everything that has wheels and an engine. Perhaps they want to brag a little and chat with other classic car owners — or they come just to admire someone else’s pride and joy and to dream of owning one themselves someday. The show is also a great place to stir up memories of the old days –- the car your dad owned when you were a kid or even the one you bought with the earnings from your first real job.
