Over in Shelley, dozens of people gathered for the Motorized Marvels Car Show. People brought in their prized vintage cars and trucks, some of which dated as far back as the 1930s.

“Back in the day, driving down the highway, you could see a car coming towards you and know, is it a Ford? Is it a Chevy? You could tell because the body designs were similar, not like today’s cars, where they’re kind of all the same,” said Car Show Participant, David R.
