Weston Antique & Classic Car Show

September 23, 2017 — Just like last Sunday, the day began with heavy cloud cover and cool temperatures at the 23rd annual Weston Antique & Classic Car Show in Weston, Massachusetts. It was slow to clear, but by early afternoon, with less than two hours remaining in the show, it cleared and the temperature rose into the comfortable 70s.

It was my first time at the Weston show, and I met someone who expressed disappointment because it was smaller than previous years. Having no previous years to compare it to, I was satisfied it was well worth the one-hour drive, offering a good variety of old and new vehicles, some of the older ones, like the 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak "woodie" station wagon, beautifully restored to their original glory.

Cars surrounded the picturesque Weston Town Hall and were spread out over Town House Road. On a green below the car show, thousands of colorful flags of the United States and other nations were planted in remembrance of 9/11.

I left Weston and drove to Skip's in Merrimac, Massachusetts for their final car show of the season, but this was a disappointment. Last year's final show attracted over 230 cars, a record, but there was nowhere near the interest this year. There were far fewer cars and spectators, the day was getting hot, and there were few cars I hadn't seen and photographed many times before.

I didn't get enough pictures at Skip's show to put together a web page. You can see my photos of the Weston show at this link:
