28th Annual KMS Coquitlam Charity Show & Shine

Published on June 20, 2025September 2, 2025 by loripridhamLeave a comment

Well, the 28^th annual KMS Coquitlam Charity Show & Shine has come and gone, and boy, was it a beaut! We had 200+ classic and custom vehicles on the lot, and many, many more classic people! The sun came out, to prove that the paint jobs were up to snuff, and the band rocked the day away!

Of course, it wouldn’t have been the same, without each of you who came out to feel the electricity, consume the meats, and bask in the splendor of the shiny chrome.

Those of you who had luck on your side got to take home welders, coolers, tools, compressors, and more! And those of you who had particularly wow-inducing vehicles went home with our custom laser-cut trophies! And who knows- maybe we’ll see your masterpieces on the next calendar!
