were these part of a museum?

Wendax · « **Reply #6 on:** December 25, 2012, 04:53:02 AM »

Either an anniversary or carnival I guess. Is it an anniversary like 50 years of motoring in Western Wyoming?

Though these cars were somewhat aged at the time this picture was taken, I don't know if one or more was pulled from a museum for the purpose of this event.

Not a carnival; this event didn't coincide with any anniversary of which I'm aware.

was this a Concours d'Elegance type event for old cars?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:05:00 AM »

This event was more for 'go' than 'show'

An early veteran car rallye?

Allan L · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:15:34 AM »

Perhaps it is the start of the 1946 revived Gliddon Tour.
