Car Show With the Uncles

rusty6 · Mar 4, 2020

Some vintage vhs video here from 1998 walking around at the local antique car show with the uncles. The August car show has been a tradition there for at least 49 years that I know of. Went to my first one there in 1971. I never entered a car there but you can see my black 39 Ford in the background of one of the still photos. My uncles enjoyed the antiques too so I rode along with them sometimes. Gave me the chance to do some drive by video as we went through town. Seems hard to imagine they have both been gone almost 18 years now.

Yeah, I know that Canadian accent can be difficult for some. Thanks for watching. Did you notice the grave stone near the end of the video. One of my uncles that died in the 1930s and they made their own stone of concrete. I wish I'd saved it as I think the old stones were discarded during the cemetery renovation.

Nice old cars, I grew up around these, and recognized all them. I noticed not any younger people. Mostly older guys like myself. I wonder how long the old 30 to 60 year old car collection hobby will last. Same with old tactors. Stan

I enjoyed the car show and the truck ride with the uncles. Are they the same uncles you posted once doing some singing?

Yes, you have likely heard them singing in several of my youtube videos. Uncle Roy in the straw hat was the oldest. Played the fiddle and banjo. Uncle Don had a good singing voice and played guitar. He played Red River Valley on harmonica in the JD 95 harvest video. I thought it was pretty cool having him supply the music to the video of him harvesting wheat in 1987.

Sad to say, the elevators that were identified with Saskatchewan are all but gone. Lots of lumber in them. Usually less than 10 miles apart for horse-drawn wagons to get there and home again for milking time.

Right. The Sask wheat Pool used to publish a calendar every year with the map of the province showing all their elevators. It was amazing. I've never counted how many there were. I'll have to post a picture of that map some time.
