The convention was held in Belfast, Maine on September 14-17, 2016. This quaint, charming fishing village is right on Penobscot Bay. Our hotel, the Fireside Inn, was overlooking the bay. The car show on Saturday was held at the Owl's Head Transportation Museum, about 30 miles south of Belfast. We took extra time to see the sights in New England and New Brunswick, so many of these pictures are only tangentially related to the car show. It was a great two weeks!
