The Shakers, a religious community
at Canterbury Shaker Village, were among the first in New Hampshire to own cars.
Their first car was a 1907 Reo touring car. They showed a preference for large,
well-built vehicles which included a
7-passenger Atlas, a Model 40 Overland and a White truck. Later they bought a
Hudson, a Pierce Arrow and a Cadillac.

The
Shaker Village is a colorful setting for photography in Fall
Model T and Model A Fords dominate a large area
The Model T, or "Tin Lizzie", was
manufactured from 1908 to 1927
The Model A, like this nicely restored example,
was produced
from 1928 to 1931
Model A's today are among the
prettiest restored old cars around
Not much left of the original Model A
The front end is all that's left that tells you
it was once a Model A
Let's leave the Fords behind for a while and move on to other makes
A stunning 1931 Chrysler Imperial
Equally impressive from front or rear
Perfection in every
detail
A lot of tender loving care has been lavished
upon this treasure
Inside as well as out
Another Chrysler Imperial — this one's a 1933
model
A rear view of

The less flashy, but stately, 1928 Hudson Super
Six
The Super Six Grille
A racy-looking Packard, circa 1929
On this late October day, you would have needed a
fur wrap
riding in the rumble
seat
A Buick of the same era
Previous
cars too rich for you? How about a 1931 Chevrolet?
Moving ahead a few years — here's a 1934 Buick
Let's walk around and see what else we can
find
We can check out the engine in a 1936 Oldsmobile
Here's a 1940 Buick touring car — it's a sure
bet
that's not the original paint
A very rare, beautifully restored 1940 Mercury 4-door convertible
1940 was only the second year of production for the
Mercury
It could easily be mistaken for a Ford...
...until you look at the nameplate
The Mercury's nicely restored interior
I could never figure out how to get a shot of a
hubcap
without getting myself in
it
