My Hershey car show prize!
#12

Doug Houston Wrote:I used to go to Hershey every year for possibly 10 years. It was nothing but fun, and I found a lot of car parts I needed, and several radios as well.

I can't walk the fields now, and I've outgrown my needs for car parts, so I can't join in the fun anymore. I understand however, that you can rent a golf cart for the whole meet, and go bombing around all you want. I understand also, that the whole place is blacktopped.
This was my first year at Hershey. My friend goes every year. It was fun but physically very grueling. plus it's an 800 mile trip one way for us in Wis. The whole meet is now on the grounds for Hershey park and it is all very flat and paved and yes they do have a lot of people in carts- I was starting to wish I had rented one Icon_lol! The last place I expected to find any radio's and yet I found my 513 there as well as an early American Bosch for 20 bucks and two vintage Variacs for $35.
