With its Father’s Day show, the North Okanagan chapter raises funds which it returns to the community in the form of tools and equipment for Vernon and North Okanagan Shuswap school district automotive classes. (Roger Knox - Morning Star)A little rain Sunday morning did little to dampen the enthusiasm of those taking part in the return of the Vintage Car Club of Canada North Okanagan chapter’s Father’s Day Car Show.
After missing the past couple of years due to COVID, the vintage automobiles rolled into the north end parking lot at the Village Green Centre for the three-hour show, which drew hundreds.
On display was everything from Mustangs and Thunderbirds to Edsels and DeSotos.
Those attending could vote for their favourite car and truck.
The club uses the show as a fundraiser, taking monies collected and returning it to the community by purchasing and donating much-needed tools and equipment to high school automotive departments in the Vernon and North Okanagan-Shuswap school districts.
