Sunday Morning on CBS is one of my favorite programs. They always have a series
of interesting stories from around the US, people to see and places to go!
I hope to pass on a little of the same........
NEW HAMPSHIRE SUNDAY MORNING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exploring this wonderful State of New Hampshire is something my husband and I never tire of! There are so many diverse attractions and ever-changing landscapes...the possibilities are endless!
Yesterday was a typical New Hampshire Fall Day...even though it isn't quite Fall! There was bright sun and blue sky's....
We decided to take a drive to one of our favorite areas of the State. We rationalized our neglect of household chores by determining a serious need for Blogging material!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our destination was the Classic Car Show in Twin Mountain 
New Hampshire!
We headed North from Concord on Route 93 toward Twin Mountain (Carroll) New Hampshire. As soon as we spotted Franconia Notch 
we knew to take the Rt.3 turnoff in Woodstock! We drove past Clark's Bears and The Flume. We paid a silent sad nod as we passed by where The Old Man of The Mountain used to be.
Soon we spotted the sign
for the show!
I must admit...I was not prepared for what I saw!... I had no idea trucks came in so many Colors!
Chevy Pickups 1934-1949 Does this bring back memories?
1956 Ford Fairlane
Even I (a non-car obsessed person) was impressed with this 1966 Maroon Pontiac Bonneville!
It has 45,000 original miles and has never been restored! Look at that Celluloid Steering Wheel!
After pulling myself away from staring at the Bonneville I looked around for my errant husband. I followed the sound of oh's and aw's and found him swooning
. This 1961 Corvette is the same as the one he raced in 1962 at Daytona....ahh Glory Days!
Eat Your Hearts Out!
Now I personally was torn between two cars that I felt fit my Realtor Image!
This 1957 T'Bird or.....This Mercedes 380 SL? Personally I think I'll go with the latter!
As we were leaving (exhausted from all of the mental spending) we were listening to the sounds of the Band playing "Me and Bobby Magee
" somehow that seemed appropriate!
And as we went back through the parking lot we saw this
.....1979 Gremlin
How's that for getting back to Reality!
The day was young so we decided to head a little further to Bethlehem....but I'm saving that till next time!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come travel the roads of New Hampshire . There are wonderful examples of our history around every corner!

Joan, What an awesome day you had !! My Dad would have loved to have gone along....he's crazy over antique cars. Lovely pictures you took and I found it very interesting that your hubby used to race corvettes.
I can picture you in the Mercedes 380 SL. The colours of some of the old cars and trucks are so pretty...I like the silvery blue colour the best.
thanks for this blog about your Sunday in NH ....I really enjoy this series.
