Went there in 2012, had a few things I was hoping to find, set of 56 olds Fiesta hubcaps, chromed pair of olds valve covers with plug wire separators and a Nash Twin 8 Distributor. Got the first items while there and after asking everyone that had dizzy or electrical parts, some said "maybe 10 years ago you might have found one but not now". Found another Kiwi guy selling stuff there that had a mate with one in California. When I got back home he had emailed to ask for a shipping address as he had the complete dizzy with good cap for $150. Would love to get back one day. Hope that the weather is kind to you this year.
Great weather today and great meeting up with The Hot Rod Grille. Fewer vendors than peak day s, fewer cars in the car corral,lighter crowd.Where was the big Coker tire? Where were Bob Drake and Dennis Carpenter? Have age and the internet taken their toll?
Another beautiful day was today. As noted above, some of the big names were missing, however Coker was there albeit in a different spot up from where they had been for years. For your viewing pleasure:
Free entry but parking is $60 bux?! Are there any other options for parking nearby? Edit; disregard, I found the regular parking lot heehee
Weather looks awesome. Had been planning the 8 hr drive to attend this year, but it wasn’t in the cards. Weather at home yesterday was a cool and rainy 45F. Safe travels to all those going.
Here’s the final chapter for this year: please note I only worked a half day today heading for home around 11:30 this morning. All in all, probably the best year I can remember in terms of weather and also for the ability to connect with a number of friends and acquaintances. I realize any time you start mentioning names your bound to miss some but special shout out to H.A.M.B. members Nickthebandit and CT1932ford
Thanks for the pics and write-up @AVater, I love pics of Hershey and am lucky to have been 3 times. Firstly in 1966 which was a real mind blowing experience as we didn't have swap meets in Australia back then. Second and third trips were with my son and they were a great father/son experience. Also spent time with ct1932ford, The37kid, ronnie roadster and tb33andathird.
Swifty, Thank you for your kind words! As noted earlier, anytime I begin to mention names, I undoubtably forget to mention some. Also enjoyed my conversation with The37kid & ronnie roadster while tb33andathird was out "shopping" when I visited their area.
Good year for sure! Perfect weather and I thought there was a very good turnout. Here are a few pics. I met some great people and enjoyed old friends as well. Always great seeing you Pete.
