ST. CATHARINES, ON — GM St. Catharines is revving up for the 21st Annual Show n’ Shine Car Show on Friday, August 9th at McKinnon Park located onsite at the plant in St. Catharines.
The Show n’ Shine started as a passion project organized by dedicated GM employees and in its first year featured 16 Corvettes and a handful of enthusiasts. Since then, the car show has developed into a more inclusive event for the plant and the community, showcasing any vehicle powered by a GM engine and averaging 350 vehicles and twice as many spectators from across Ontario and New York State.
Last year’s event had over 500 participants. This year’s show already has over 280 vehicles registered including a 1937 Chevrolet pick-up truck, a 1976 GMC motorhome, a 2020 Cadillac XT6, and everything in-between.
