Before we go any further, I am going to let the car guy do his thing with these photos.
we had followed some guy down the road for miles in his '47 ford convert. he pulls into this way cool garage. he and some other guys own this place and this is where they play. in case you don't know this is one of those funky checkers parked in front. for the most part this company only built limos or cabs.
this late '20s sedan delivery had advertising painted on the side. check out the old gas pump right in front.
this like everything else was for sale. the tab for driving this home was $35k. there were lots of tractors sitting around back and lots of other neat stuff.
there is some old geezer in front of this cool place. that is the ford that we followed for miles.
this is a late '40s chevy convert that he had totally torn apart. the workmanship appeared to be first rate.
here is one of my all time favorite marquees. this is a '51 hudson. on the wall of this place was a picture of jay leno with this car. the paint appeared to be a redo, but the rest of the car seemed to be original.
for those of you that worked at gas stations in highschool or just remember them, this place would take you back. all of the old tools and "stuff" was there. at the buildings next to this behind the glass doors were two brass era cars. one was on a rack up in the air. it was a chain drive thomas flyer. the other was a 1909 stoddard dayton. both looked like they just came out of the factory.
This bookstore was wonderful. I wish I worked there so I could read lots of the books on display.
We love general stores.
I didn't go in this library, but it was voted New Hampshire's Library of the year--maybe tomorrow I will go in!
This must be the biggest fabric store I have ever been in. Overwhelming. I ended up purchasing only 1.5 yards of a mottled purple, on sale, to use for a blouse. This may be another place I return in the morning.
The day was absolutely perfect: blue sky, colorful leaves, a gentle breeze, and good company!
This was our view from the restaurant where we had lunch: the Upper Deck. Cary got a turkey pastrami, while I got a chicken salad wrap. We ate outside. Lake Winnipesaukee has been featured in movies and TV shows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Winnipesaukee I had no idea!
It would have been fun to do this, but it would have used too much of our time!
The Wright Museum is in Wolfeboro. It specializes in showing what World War II was like on the homefront. I tried taking more pictures than I actually succeeded in getting; again, the lighting interfered with my flash.
There was a section in the museum called the time tunnel, featuring popular things each year, 1939-1945. Around the wall in each section were Life magazine covers. This one is for my friend Andrea. Life magazine needs to be around still; it was wonderful.
My husband was hoping I could get a picture of this; I was amazed that I was successful!
one last car for the day, this 1941 Ford woody was also on display at the Wright Museum.
