I'm in Chicago on my way back from Hershey. The forecast says 69 at Hershey, low 50's in NE (looks like I'm going the wrong direction).

Following are more pics from yesterday:

Please add prices, I'd ike to know what the cars are selling for. I'm glad I was not able to go this year....The wife would kill me if I took a loan for another toy.

There are 18 pictures and 17 different cars. Would
anybody care to identify these cars? Thanks, Dex.

Will,

The last car is a Packard (year was not listed, I'd guess about a 10?). Prices seemed high to me, however many were very well restored classics. Last evening I saw more at Hershey Lodge that were incredible, but I didn't have my camera with me.

One example, the maroon 26 or 27 T Fordor had $29,000 written on the window. I spoke with the owner, who had just bought it from Volo, and they delivered it to Hershey, so he placed it in the "corral" with the price on it.

I saw several $100,000 to $250,000 price tags.

This was my first Hershey trip (I'd recommend it to everyone at least once), and it was "sensory overload". Also, I had both knees replaced this summer, so walking so much really sapped me, and as a result I didn't "linger" much while walking and taking photos. I probably have another 50 or 60 car photos, and will post them over the next few days.

Rob

Isn't #14 a Lincoln?

I just saw the White steamer, the Locomobile and the Stoddard Dayton and maybe some of the others at Hymann Limited in St Louis about a week ago. I never knew that they were in the St. Louis area until recently and just stopped in to see what was "new".

We spent yesterday at Hershey, picked up a restored distributor body with the original top plate for one of my Model A's, and another running board luggage rack.

There were some very good deals in the car corral, like a beautiful 1926 Model T Fordor for $14K which appeared all correct (probably the same one in Rob's pictures). The Model A's seemed a bit overpriced to me, all were over $20K with a couple over $30K for presentable, but not stunning cars (except for a '30 Roadster Pickup which seemed over-restored). There were some very nice British sports cars, TR-6's, MGB's, MGA, MGBGT that I thought were steals, also several very nice Mercedes drop tops.

Some what appeared to me to be very high stickers for clean, but not extraordinary, '50's and 60's - while the '30s and '40s cars seemed pretty fairly priced. One '41 Chevy made just before they shut down for the war seemed a bargain at $15K

Lots of things to drool over in the $150K+ category, like FDR's Packard for $350K.

What would I have brought home if I had my trailer and $20Kish in my pocket -- the '26 T Fordor, the '41 Chevy, or one of the TR-6's...

The Marmon is a 16.....cylinders that is. One of the most beautiful designs of the classic era.

Thanks Rob for taking time out to post all these wonderful pictures so we can all enjoy them in almost "real time". It's almost sensory overload just looking at the pictures, I can't imagine actually being there! Thanks again, John

Verne - Yes. #14 is a Lincoln Continental, not sure of the year but about a '47, give or take a year.
