Pilcher from Milton, NH. The Pilchers are the third owners of the show car, which sports a storm gray coat highlighted by a light blue stripe that pays tribute to the vehicle’s original color. Stored in a barn for 16 years, the Barracuda was lovingly restored by its second owner, fulfilling a childhood dream that took seven years to complete. During the restoration, every piece of the vehicle was disassembled, but the owner was able to log only about 1,300 miles before he died. Now in the care of Eric and Becky, the Plymouth, with its distinctive wraparound rear glass, has traveled to over fifty car shows where it continues to pay tribute to the man who fulfilled his dream.
Throughout the day, Berwick Town Square will be alive with music courtesy of D.J. John Cox. The grills will be hot and ready to serve burgers, hot dogs, baked beans, breakfast
sandwiches, and desserts. Beverages, souvenir T-shirts, and sweatshirts also will be available for purchase, courtesy of See AUTOS on page 2...
