Hundreds gather for the 56th annual Majestics Car show in Regina

Hundreds of people pulled up in their favourite cars to Regina’s International Trade Centre for the 56th annual Majestics Car Show this weekend.

Wayne Smith was a little boy when he started attending car shows and it wasn’t long before he was participating in them.

“I think 55, but maybe all 56 car shows, I had a car in the first Majestics Car show here in 1967,” said Smith.

The Majestics Car Club is a non-profit organization that helps the community which is one of the many reasons people come to show.

“The thrill of driving older cars, or hot rods, fast cars, it’ll never go away, it’s exhilarating,” said Smith. “It’s fun and people appreciate seeing this old car — there’s not a lot of them around, people take a lot of pride in what they do, and they like to show it off.”

That love for cars is something that Greg Gusway said he discovered when he younger than his grandson, Evan.

“Younger than him, sometime in the late ’50s I decided I like cars, (and) I still like (them),” he said. “I’m just a big boy.”
