1913 Franklin Model M Dirt Track Racer


Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT 2014

I don't know very much about Franklins.  By far the most popular vehicle on display were the Fords, both Model T's and Model A's.  All of the major manufacturers were represented, but I had to look hard to find examples of Cheverolet, Oldsmobile, Buick, Dodge and Cadillac.  It was exciting to see some of these rarer, and less well known autos.

Mack Truck

Mystic Seaport 2014

Each year, Mystic Seaport hosts an exhibit of antique automobiles.  This year's "By Land and By Sea" antique auto show attracted over 100 vehicles all built before the year 1932.  The featured attractions at this year's show were a number of Mack Trucks.  Stay tuned for some more images of all these antiques.

Time stands still at some places along the boardwalk in Seaside Heights.  Where else can you find vintage advertising like this?

Store front windows make for some interesting reflection.  This particular store front was found in Westerly, RI recently.  I'm sharing this with Weekend Reflections.  Have a great weekend.

Boardwalk

Seaside Heights, NJ

Growing up in New Jersey, I did spend a good amount of time on the New Jersey shore.  The best time to visit the shore is after Labor Day.  The weather is still nice, there are less crowds and most of the boardwalk attractions are still open.
