A Day at Larz Anderson

August 20, 2017 — It was the second rather disappointing show in a row. The Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts was observing Ford, Mercury and Lincoln Day. Besides the permanent exhibit in the museum, they have a lawn event outdoors most weekends throughout the summer. Each event features a specific category of cars, such as Cadillac Day, Italian Car Day, Extinct Car Day, etc.

On Ford, Mercury and Lincoln Day I expected a greater variety, such as Model A Fords (there was only one), Lincolns from the '20s and '30s (there were none), and there were no Model T's. There were few if any cars earlier than 1960, many new or nearly new, and some customs. But there were also some all-original and beautifully restored examples from the '60s and '70s.

To fill out the series, I took some pictures inside the museum of additions since I was last there two years ago, and a few different angles on some I've photographed before. It's all at this link:
