Car enthusiast’s vintage Ford shines at Melfort show
Cars, trucks, motorcycles, military vehicles, and hot rods, and even snowmobiles were present at this year’s Mix 101 Melfort and District Show ’n Shine.
Cars, of all shapes, sizes, makes, and models were spread throughout downtown Melfort on June 17. Some classic, some rare, some that needed lots of love, and some that were so pristine they looked as though they rolled right off the production lines.
Amongst all the hubbub, parked in the middle of Main Street Melfort, which at times felt like a wind tunnel, sat a 1930 Ford Model A. The sounds of the Village People’s ‘YMCA’ floated out of the car built well before the popularity of the song.
Painted bright yellow with hand painted flames stretched across the body, the car was a stark contrast between a military service truck meant to transport troops in combat, and a black muscle car from the 70s.
