Shaker Village Car Show

October 12, 2024 — The stretch of beautiful weather, the best of the car show season, continues into the fall, except on this day high wind gusts had us hanging onto our hats. But bright sun made the Shaker Village Vintage Car Show in Canterbury, New Hampshire a photographer's dream. The location makes for a great photographic venue, with the old Shaker buildings, gardens, and ponds forming a backdrop for the cars.

The show always features high-quality antique cars, and you can be assured of seeing many you haven't seen before. Note-worthy this year was a stunning 1932 Packard and a collection of beautifully restored trucks. The usual gathering of Model A Fords appeared again this year. Live entertainment was provided by the Bel Airs, taking us back to the '50s with their doo-wop songs.

Guided tours of the Shaker buildings and grounds are available on a separate admission. I would advise allowing another day for that. Taking in the car show and tour in one day would do neither justice.
