Ephrata car show shines with another large turnout year

EPHRATA — The 2023 Anything with Wheels Car Show and Shine brought out car enthusiasts of all ages to C Street in Ephrata Saturday. While the turnout for the show this year was slightly smaller than last year, 130 cars in total turned out to shine, Ephrata Chamber of Commerce Director Rita Witte said. “You have to enjoy working on them,” said Kelly Cash. “I’m just an old hotrodder from back in the late ’50s and ’60s; I was running on the drag strip and that kind of stuff.” Cash, who lives in Coulee Dam, brought a 1956 Chevrolet half-ton pickup to the show. The black truck is special to him because it is the same type of car he used to drive when he worked for the U.S. Forest Service. “I’ve owned this since the early ’80s, so it’s been with me a long time,” Cash said.
