July 8, 2018 — It was the second day in a row of perfect weather for the 47th annual Bay State Antique Auto Club Car Show at the Endicott Estate in Dedham, Massachusetts. This show often hosts over a thousand cars, and I would estimate this show was close to that number. Every type of car was represented, from custom jobs and street rods to brass era relics from the 20s. It's a photogenic venue, with the mansion as a centerpiece and cupolas placed here and there. Shelter is always nearby from hot sun or a sudden rainstorm.My only criticism of the show is the hours, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. That's a relatively short time for a one-day show that attracts such a large number of vehicles. The car corral alone may have 200 cars. That leaves little time to cover the entire field. The 7 a.m. start is too early for those who may have to travel an hour or two to get there. More than that and an overnight stay the night before the show would be mandatory.
But for my needs, the time was sufficient. I had time to photograph all the cars I was interested in. You can view the results at this link:
