Cruising Downtown

September 3, 2022 — Cruising Downtown, Manchester, New Hampshire's annual car show always held on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, had perfect summer weather for this year's show. It now ranks among the largest shows in New England. They have counted over 1,000 cars at a few past shows. I haven't heard an official count for this show, but I thought it was one of the biggest I've seen. It fills several blocks of Manchester's main drag, Elm Street, as well as Veterans Memorial Park, several side streets, and this year they made space on the Notre Dame Bridge for NH Muscle Car members to display their cars, creating what could be called a show-within-a-show.

The show never lacks for variety. You'll find everything from rat rods to customs to muscle cars, all the way up to classics of the '20s, '30s and '40s in original condition. You'll walk about four miles to cover the entire show. I'm not pretending it's like being there, but you can view my photos and videos of the event on your PC, laptop or phone at this link:
