BSAAC Car Show

July 9, 2023 — Like so many this season, the Bay State Antique Auto Club show was threatened by rain, or at least pop-up showers. Held on the grassy fields of the spacious Endicott estate in Dedham, Massachusetts, it's a rain-or-shine show. It goes on regardless of weather. 

At least at the Endicott, there are plenty of places to duck for cover, including several cupolas and the large back porch of the mansion. This particular day was overcast and humid, but luck was with us and there was no rain during the show's allotted time.

This is a show that has hosted over one thousand cars some years, but hasn't reached that figure in several seasons. This year the smaller attendance made it necessary to re-draw the divisions between various classes, always carefully separated at BSAAC shows. There's a custom and street rod section, a section for unmodified standards, a truck section, and a few individual makes get their own sections, such as Cadillac. The centerpiece for the show is the Endicott mansion, and the most outstanding cars get an honored spot on the front lawn.

Although smaller than past BSAAC shows, this show still had a large turnout by the standards of the region, with a good variety. You can see a sampling of them at this link:
