gave way to partial sunshine. A variety of rare vehicles,

Cars gathered on the grounds of the Mount Sunapee State Park ski area
Cars were divided into a number of classes —
these are cars of the '30s
These are '40s models
This one was alone in its class
A 1913 Hupmobile — the only pre-1920 vehicle at the show
The Hup's little 4-banger
A very classy 1930 REO, sold new at J. A. Lewis Auto Sales, Mankato, Minnesota
The REO's inline 6
Trivia fact: REO stands for Ranson Eli Olds,
who introduced the Oldsmobile in
1895, then left Oldsmobile to incorporate the REO Motor Car Company in 1904
A meticulously restored 1937 Buick
The '37 Buick's long straight-8 block
Recognize this?
The unique front end of the 1939 Buick
Speaking of unique front ends...

unusual grille
Restored to original in every detail — it just needs
'30s-era whitewalls to complete the picture
The '38 Oldsmobile's interior
1941 Lincoln Continental
1940 Ford
1946 Mercury
How about some trucks, just for a change of pace?

simply as the Dodge
This insignia — resembling the Star of David — was the Dodge trademark from 1914-38
How about lunch?
Food was available throughout the day
Irresistible!
I want to go back
OK, now that our stomach's are full, let's go back to admiring cars
Those who were around in the '50s might say this is a Plymouth, but you'd be wrong
Actually, it's a 1957 Canadian Dodge
The ever-popular 1957 Oldsmobile
Typically elegant '50s GM-style instrument panel
1968 Buick LeSabre
