Castle Car Show

October 3, 2020 — The Castle Car Show, hosted by Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, New Hampshire and sponsored by TMS Architects, originally scheduled for July, was postponed to October because of COVID-19. When I first heard of this postponement, I figured we could kiss this show good-bye for this season. I had seen so many other shows postponed, only to eventually be canceled, I prepared myself for another disappointment. But happily they were able to keep their promise on this one.

Held on broad meadows just below Castle in the Clouds, a major New Hampshire tourist attraction, surrounded by low mountains and next to a pristine pond, with a riding stable nearby and horses and riders frequently passing by the perimeter of the show fields, it offers many photo ops besides the cars. Being in October instead of its usual July date, trees were beginning to show their fall colors. The horses, alas, were nowhere to be seen, apparently removed to warmer climes for the winter.

As always, the show featured some rare Packards, Duesenbergs, and other classics, along with other American and imported antiques and custom jobs. It was easily the best show of this abbreviated season, and I don't expect it to be topped with only one more show on my 2020 schedule. My photo coverage can be seen at this link:
