On Sunday at the Hickories Park in Owego, NY, where we are staying, was held a Central New York classic car show. There were about 200 entries and since it was literally in our back yard, we attended and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Maurice has a 1946 Ford sedan with suicide doors, painted in a blue-grey color and exhibited his car and helped his car club run the entire show.
Not too many weeks ago we attended another car show in Traverse City, MI and just loved all the cars there too. It gives you a chance to see some cars that you have not ever seen or not seen in years. I also enjoy seeing cars like ones I have owned over the years. I am equally sure that mine got hauled off to the junk pile at some point, but such a lovely trip down nostalgia lane.
This particular show was really quite large and well attended. Favorites for us were a Packard Limousine, Model T Fords and Model A roadsters. We got to see Hudsons and Nash Metropolitans and a two seater green Austin made in this country. There were even cars for sale, but we just looked and did not even think about buying.
Best of all, Anne came down for the car show and visited it and then came by the motor home as well. She is doing so much better. We ended the day by meeting at Maurice and Anne's home for dinner shared with Mom, Emily and Bill and their family and Tim. There was so much food that we can feast on left-overs for several days.
