I've always considered this
to be the best British Car Show in the Northeast with
700-800 British cars of all vintages in attendance. The
venue is spectacular with views of Mt Mansfield as a
backdrop. Stowe village itself is right out of the 60's
with food and lodging typical of what you'd find in a
ski town. It's a four day event with most taking part in
the final three days. It's the only show I've ever
attended that had a complimentary cocktail party on
Friday afternoon and Beatles tribute band performing on
Main St Friday evening. Main street is turned into a
pedestrian way with the streets lined with British cars.
Saturday is the typical show field participant's choice
along with a separate judged concours event. Sunday is
turned over to fun events where you park your car by
color or can take part in the backseat driver course
where the blindfolded driver is guides through a course
by the backseat driver. For the diehards, there's even a
tailgate event where people dress up in British costume,
decorate their cars and serve era relevant food.
Can anybody
identify this Ford British car? |

my favorite. |
