September 13, 2020 — For the second time this season, the timing and distances made it possible to take in two shows in the same day. The first was the American Legion Post 11 Car Show, where show cars parked on a baseball field in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Not the biggest show of the season, but it featured a few relatively rare examples, including a 1958 Edsel Convertible, a 1948 Chrysler New Yorker, 1940 Packard and assorted muscle cars, street rods and racers. Next to the car show, the Legion set up a small gathering of military vehicles.
After leaving the Legion show, I headed to the town of Weare for the Weare Center Gazebo Car Show. A good turnout of cars of all descriptions was arranged in circles in an attractive park with the gazebo in the center. This show also featured a few rarities like a 1939 Mercury beautifully restored by two women and a collection of Ford products from the '50s.
It was a full day, and things seem to be steadily improving in the car show world as we learn more about how to keep safe in this season of COVID-19. My pictures of the American Legion gathering can be see at this link:
