Shaker Village Show
« on: October 18, 2014, 03:54:43 PM »
Today I went to the Shaker Village Show with my daughter.  It's in Canterbury NH about 30 miles north of my house.  It's a museum that has 25 old buildings from the Canterbury Shakers www.shakers.org  The show was put on by the White Mountain Model A Club so I was surrounded by a sea of old Fords.  I proudly wore my Rust Bowtie t-shirt!  Everyone was great and I'll mark it on my calendar for next year.  My daughter and I had a great time checking out the cars and the exhibits in the old buildings.  Here are some pics of the cars.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Few more.  One the way back we took a ride through another covered bridge in Hopkington NH.

Couple more.  A Model A with skis and tracks ready for the snow.

Looks like a great show, thanks for the pictures.  Man Tom you are getting out there  now that your car is hitting on all cylinders.

Yeah we're having a blast driving it.  We reached 950 miles on it since late August.  I'm going to be bummed when it comes time to put it away for the winter in a few weeks :(

Very nice, Tom. It's great that your daughter wants to spend the time with you this way. Two covered bridges down, how many to go?
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Chopper,
Yeah I'm lucky she loves coming out in the car with me.  According to a book I bought there's about 50 covered bridges that you can drive through in New Hampshire.  I plan to drive through as many as I can next summer.  Guess I'll have to start a thread to keep count ;)

That's not a bad idea. You can take us through the seasons. We might have to ask Tamara to do a calendar of pictures of just your car at different covered bridges during different seasons to match the month!  Better get a roof for that car, though, I hear February is a tough one up there. ;D

Think about trailering it too florida or the Carolinas, and doing some southern style cruising deep down south when snow is flying.

Tom you lucky devil, you are having too much fun. Nice cars, I really like the tracked model A. My dads uncle up in Minnesota had one of them except with a full closed cab pu and flatbed.

I wish I had known about that one I would have gone. I want to a car show there a few years back.
Thanks for the photos Tom.

Thanks for sharing those pictures Tom. 50 covered bridges? Drive through them all for us. That black touring car on the second page is far prettier than it was new. What a beauty!
