Dream Diner Car Show

August 22, 2020 — I didn't expect much from this show which I just learned about a couple of days before it was scheduled, but I had a beautiful Saturday with nothing better to do, so I figured there was nothing to lose in a half hour drive down to Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. If it was a disappointment, I'd just turn around and come back home. That's almost what I did upon driving onto the lot at the Dream Diner, sponsor of the event. There were about ten show cars there when I arrived. The trophies to be awarded far outnumbered the cars.

I took a few photos of the few cars that interested me, thinking I probably wouldn't end up with enough to make a page out of. But cars kept drifting in, and eventually about 60 to 70 filled the lot. There were the usual muscle cars and customs that have dominated every show this season, but also a number of cars from the mid-20th Century and a 1923 Model T Ford, overall as good a mix as any show this year.

Near the end of the show, ominous clouds darkened the sky. They rushed through trophy presentation, and just about completed it when rain started coming down in buckets, causing a rush to the exits. A few convertibles didn't get their tops up in time.

So the show I was afraid wouldn't fill a page on my site ended up filling two pages. You can see them all at this link:
