Awesome show! Glad the weather cooperated this year. Thanks Stan and all others that help put this show on every year. I love the drive there and back almost as much as the show, the leaves are at their peak colors this time of year.

That was our caravan from the Salem, MA pre-show gathering. Looks great!

In the second video you are behind my friend Lucas' '69 Fastback.

Thanks to everyone for coming to the show. We had 183 show cars and at least 20 vendors. I saw some old friends and made some new ones. I was even interviewed about the "VW" scene by someone for a project they were doing.

Here are some details:

We had 41 over-niters at the pre-show gathering in Salem, MA. And several day-visitors too. Most of them travelled by caravan to the show on Sunday. Some just come for the camping.
I also pre-registered 33 vehicles in Salem, so the caravan drivers were able to breeze into the show, set-up and chill, with no waiting in line to register.

Hey that's us in the green westy! Our spot by the lighthouse was probably the best spot in the whole place.

My annual donation to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum was $1830 this year. They also reported a paid gate of 550 people, which all goes directly to the museum. Thanks to everyone for showing up!

Be sure to mark your calendars for October 6th, 2019 to attend next year's show.
