October 25, 2025 — I end the 2025 car show season at a small morning show in an old neighborhood of my hometown, Haverhill, Massachusetts. The show, hosted by the Crescent Yacht Club, was in Bradford, the section of Haverhill south of the Merrimack River. It was almost within sight of the house I lived in, or would have been if the house still existed, but it had been torn down sometime since I left the city about 60 years ago.
It could have been a nostalgic return, but the city is so changed that if you dropped me in the middle of any part of it, I would find almost nothing I recognized. Thomas Wolfe wrote "You Can't Go Home Again" and that's very true.
It was a small but pleasant show, dominated by muscle cars, but with a few old standards, and many friendly owners who loved to talk about their cars. You can see what I saw at this link:
