We're forever grateful for our veterans' service, dedication, and sacrifice.
Twice a year, the Motor Sports Groups of West and SouthEast REALTORS® of the Valley, Inc. (WeSERV) host car shows to honor our veterans and raise funds for local veteran charities.
The Association hosts one car show in the West Valley in the spring and the other in the Southeast Valley in the fall.The WeSERV Motor Sports Group (MSG) proudly presented the Veteran's Car Show on Saturday, April 8, 2023, at Cabela's in Glendale. Peoria High School ROTC presented our Colors. Chaplain Harold G. May of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1433 gave the invocation, and WeSERV Member Services Team Member Rachel Eaton and her daughter Abigail sang a sweet rendition of the National Anthem. In addition, the Easter Bunny made a surprise visit, and car owners and vendors gave candy.
This event boasted 178 incredibly cool and unique classics and custom cars and motorcycles, including a SWAT tank, Poison Ivy Impala, Red Demon with exquisite artwork, convertible Spooky Hot Wheels Mustang, and so many more. Of course, everyone had their favorites – which one is yours? You can view pictures online at bit.ly/2023WeSERVVeteransCarShow. WeSERV MSG awards the top 20 cars and the car club with the most participants. Congratulations to our show car owners and AZ Classic Chevelle Club for having the most cars represented!
