Event Coverage HERSHEY! right around the corner

i'm such a dork!

 

Congratulations! You can sign the HAMB Banner at Hershey this year!

 

I will be there OCT 2012!!!

 

I have a vacation day set aside for Hershey, just dont know if I want to go thursday or friday

 

If you want to save money, go on Friday...most of the good stuff and good deals will be gone already.

 

Anyone know if its possible to get a spot? You have to be a member of the AACA correct or at this point is it too late?

Thanks,

Steve

 

yes, way too late.

 

I can't wait!!!!! I'll be there all week....For me, Hershey ends the summer and the Detriot Autorama ends the winter. Hershey is my favorite hands down. I wish the auction was still on site and free...Oh well.

 

Is the 'no hot rods and/or parts' still the main rule? Last year that caused a real fiasco...

 

If you keep things low key you won't have a problem.

 

National AACA headquarters is 717-534-1910. You have to be a Nat'l member and have a Pa. sales tax number. Deadline is Sat. the 20th. I'd say your chances are slim, but you could try.

 

I've been going since 1973 and have only missed a couple of times and was miserable when I didn't go. Everyone needs to experience Hershey at least once, you'll see things you won't see anyplace else. Sometimes you might find some bargains.

 

Gonna drive the Lincoln there if it short-dicks every cannibal in the Congo... Planning on driving down late Wed night and spending all day Thursday there.

 

I remember going there in the late 70's there was just the red and blue fields. Now that I'm 66 yrs young I can only walk 2 fields. Somethings never change .......LOL.it still is the grand daddy of them all. I miss the auction though.

 

I tried a Google search and that phrase didn't turn up.

 

It's from Full Metal Jacket, the scene where Private Pyle is trying to climb an obstacle on the obstacle course.

the scene starts at 3:15 or so, and the line is at 4:08.

I know this movie like the back of my hand.

 

How about the Carillo roadster? And this year it runs.

 

Great! Hope they have a safe place to park the trailer.

 

Sad to say I've never been, but would like to change that this year. Any suggestions on places to stay for a night?

 

Starting to get back in to my walking routine so Iam not so darn sore this year.I stay at the old KOA.Cheap,but they too want a 3-4 day reservation.If you have never been to this swap it is something to put on the bucket list.Cant wait!!! JF

 

I always say that if you live through walking Hershey in its entirety, you don't need a cardiogram to tell you that your heart's still working.

 

i remember walking it when it was muddy, no mud anymore! i overheard someone say a few years back that if you walked up and down every isle you would have traveled 26 miles. don't know if that is true, but it feels like it.

 

The Judging Team even let them give it a shot on the show field, but it wouldn't fire then either. The Documented Hot Rods are judged right along side other Race Cars in class 24A.

 

go mre then one day youll only see like a 1/4 of the swap

 

jim ill meet up with you since we have spaces i park inside we can load everything you buy in my car and drive it all out no carrying...were in the orange field

 

Never been maybe one day

 

ditto..
Looking to BUY ANYTHING for a ford woodie..
if your bringing something let me know!!!

 

Be hitting Carlisle then follow up the next week at Hershey. Love fall swaps

 

Carlisle is a fun start to the Fall flea market season..but Hershey is the apex!!!! I really enjoy meeting people and talking about projects...it really is nice making friendships at these event....last year the the Brazilians were buying up cars at Carlisle and shipping them back south...kinda the opposite of all those cars that came north in the 60's and 70's

 

I've been going to Carlisle over 25 years, and this will be the first time I've attended Hershey..... wow, That good huh?
