Castle Car Show

October 2, 2021 — It was a cold, overcast day with occasional raindrops at the Castle Car Show at Castle in the Clouds, a major New Hampshire tourist attraction in Moultonborough. This was always a July show, but last year COVID caused a postponement to October, and it was held in October once again this year. July of course was much warmer, and the nearby stables were open, horses were in the field, and riders on horseback passed by the show car field, providing nice additional photo ops. So I'm hoping the show will return to its traditional July date when the COVID threat finally ends.

However, the damp, chilly weather this year didn't dampen enthusiasm, and there was a high turnout of cars and spectators. The Castle show has always attracted rare, high-quality antique vehicles, and this year was no exception with a couple of early 20th Century Stanleys, a full range of American standards from the '20s through '60s, and a large contingent of European makes.

You can see some of the best, at least in my opinion, at:
