The 1st Annual Shay Way Memorial Car Show
2024 Event
Instead of requiring a show entry fee, we ask for donations to Mittens from Mikey for The Ottawa Mission. We filled the back of a truck with new and gently used clothing items & other essentials.
The Shay Way Build
The star of the car show was this beautiful build that belongs to Mike Shay's longtime friend, Doug Watson. The two grew up together, working on cars at the old Petro Canada in Manotick. Doug purchased the car at 15, trading his brother a stereo for it.
1958 Mercury Cougar
Mike began his 40+ year long relationship with the Cougar when they were just teenagers. Fast forward many years later, Mike was in the process of getting the car running again, and died before seeing it on the road. Mike's ashes were driven to his funeral in the Cougar on May 12th, 2023.
