Mount Washington Valey Classic Car Show

As we had all our chores done , late on Sunday morning , spur of the moment , we decided to make the sixty mile run to the car show in North Conway New Hampshire .

We got there at about half past noon , a bit late for the car judging , and burgers were eight dollars a piece , but there were some interesting cars to see .

We parked across from this 1947 Pontiac Streamliner on a Montecarlo chassis . In styling it quite resembled our Volvo , only about half again as big .

My favorite of the show had to be this totally home built rig emulating a 1920s racer

Tight fit for two , but so stylish

Fuel tank on the back

Primitive suspension dampeners consisting of layers of silicone rubber washers squished between the hinge point of the scissor looking device .

A six cylinder inline out of an 1970's Chevrolet pickup fed by twin carbs on a home made box manifold .

A real elegant Ford model A

With a Goose ? Quail ? as a hood ornament on the radiator cap

I just love those subtle colors

A sweet looking panel on a 57 Chevy Bel Air convertible

With a unique accessory  . . . bonus points for anyone who can tell me what its purpose is

A monster blower on a very loapy running engine

Powering some 24 inch wide tires on a road legal (God only knows how) Chevrolet Chevelle

VW's were represented too , this a 25 K mile pristine Thing

Perhaps most curious of all was a water cooled 1800 cc inline 4 cylinder VW engine as normally seen in a VW Rabbit . . .

. . . . stuffed into a custom built VW Single Cab .

Yes , custom cause it started life as a a regular van in Mexico

Where, I was told by Juan Avina the owner , they were produced with the water cooled engine .

A tiny MG Midget racer

With equally tiny HS-4 Skinner Union carbs

Sat next to a Lotus Seven

With a throaty 40 mm Webber side draft that I am told originally lived on the Midget .

Took a lot of photos but I'll keep it short this time with the ones that I found most interesting , more coming up next weekend after the Owls Head gathering .
