A hidden gem in Concord N.C. Dennis Carpenter’s Bike Collection!

I’ve been traveling a lot for work lately and have not posted as much. While in Concord N.C. I stopped by Dennis Carpenter Ford Reproductions  to look at a beautiful old Falcon that was sitting out front for sale. The gentleman who owned the car worked there, and came out to greet me and we talked for a while. I used to own a 66 Falcon and if I ever find another one at the right price. This one was a beautiful powder blue with the original engine and less than 70,000 miles on it!

Of course the focus of this blog is all things 2 wheeled and we know that if you need Cushman scooter parts Carpenters is the best game in town. While I was talking to the guy about the Falcon he told me about the museum out back and where to go in the showroom to get to see it. I like old Fords (I’ve owned a few) and Cushmans are cool so it was definitely worth a look. The cars and the scooters did not disappoint but what blew me away was the large and diverse collection of classic motorcycles and bicycles of all kinds from every continent! Please keep in mind that I was totally unprepared for this and all the pics you are about to see are crappy low resolution cell phone pics.
