When I drove back to Mary's on Friday after the Empty Spools Session ended I followed a couple very old cars occupied by couples in 'dust coats' and hats. They turned into the motel at the main intersection and joined dozens more. Mary says they come every year about this time - part of a horseless carriage organization. They trailer the cars in from wherever they live and just drive around the local area.
Parked all the way to the end of the lot was this touring car - I assume the engine is covered to try to keep out the dirt, because the wind was really blowing that day. And all weekend!
A Reo and a Brush (which I've never heard of before).
Here is a car leaving the motel parking lot to take a tour around town. San Juan Bautista is a very old town with its Mission, so cars like these probably once drove on the old dirt roads.
I think there are seven beauties lined up here. Bracketed by some modern cars and lots of modern guys having a look. And look at the dilapidated old barn in the background, one of many in the area - the motel is surrounded by farms and fields and pastures.
