What no one at Hershey this year?
No great finds?
No meeting of the minds?
No pictures of stuff found?
Or did I just miss the post?

If you weren’t you should have.

Good year after the repast , lots of vendors and buyers. Found all the items I was needing. And sold off most I took along. Was huge amount of vintage auto-gas related signage selling, good buys too. Buddy had just purchased a sign to resell, put it in space and minutes later it sold , profit of $150 in 5 minutes!



Some waited since last Hershey.

Hershey

This was my first Hershey and was amazed at the size even after hearing numerous descriptions. Quite a few T’s for sale during the flea market.

Car show today was great! Saw a few manufacturers I had never heard of but spent the most time walking around the T’s. Saw a 1905 Model F which was a first.

Definitely will be back,
Darin

It was great to be back at Hershey again!

Saw this neat 2 cylinder Model T boat engine.

Also a very nice 1915 Roadster for sale with a Rajo, aftermarket wire wheels and brakes, and a Ruckstell.

That '15 Rajo T sounded smooth as silk driving around the swap meet!

Hershey isn't what it once was, but I still found a few things. The most important thing is the people. I met a few new people, and saw many there that I've known for years.

I was one of those manning the MTFCA Sites at C4Q 34 to 37 in the Chocolate North field, and we were busy. More on that in another thread. I did manage to get away and pick up a few bargains though.
Pictures of our "Meet and Greet" held at 3 pm on Wednesday will be on a separate thread also. In all, we had a good time. Unfortunately, the Canadians and other foreigners couldn't be there and that cut down on attendance somewhat. There's always next year.

A bit OT, but of the nine Flanders items I was looking for, I found five of them at Hershey this year, including a mint OEM Flanders carburetor! I was stunned, I didn't expect to find anything for a Flanders there. :)

My dad and I have been going to Hershey for the las 15 years and we haven't been able to go this year because of COVID for the last two years. The US border is closed for non-essential land crossings for Canadian visitors. My dad and I are very sad that we haven't been to go again this year. It is a father and son tradition to go to Hershey. We pray very hard that next year we will be able to go. To make a short story we miss: Hershey, the cars, people, parts, chocolate and also we miss the smell of gas ... Please continue to post pictures.

Here a picure bellow of my Dad and me, we bought this 1913 engine 3 years ago at Hershey... Thank to Steve Hammat who brought the engine for us. Now the engine is in this nice speedster as well.
