The annual Wheels on the Danforth auto show at the crossing of Danforth Ave. and Danforth Rd. offered a lot of fun for parents and kids Saturday. The owner of a 32 Buick sedan had a machine gun prop in the back seat. Very funny. Some vehicles reminded those who cared to think about it how buoyant the Ontario car manufacturing industry was in the days when the Americans were delighted to buy cars built by their Canadian neighbors. That was before the US economy felt the full impact of Japan, then China. Sobering. But kids had enormous fun painting (if that’s the word) a minivan provided for the purpose. And a man and his son from Dundalk north of Orangeville arrived in their Sheriff’s car dressed in detail to assume the roles. Bravo to Ray Price and his son Clayton, 12.
