hi my name is lee and i live in england.me and some friends are comeing over to the hershey swap meet in pennsylvania at the start of october.i want to know if there are any club meets that week that we could come over and see.is the swap meet any good im build a 32 ford with a 50`s look to it one friend is building a 1950 dodge wayfiarer with a super red ram hemi in it and the outher friend has a 55 chevy with a rat look to it.so u now the type of stuff we like! is it the show for us?
I'm naint sur I now what u likes. I'm thinks hershey is a goods place if u wants a chocklate bars. damn its hard to write english with a pakastani accent. hershy is where you want to be if your lookin' for parts and fun, from what I understand. Never been there myself. Where do you hail from originally?
Hot rod lee, Hershey is definitely the place to be if you want to buy some parts for the cars you told us about. However, as you are already coming to the States in early October, why not plan on attending the big swap meet in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It is the week before Hershy and has tons of swappers on hand with parts galore. It also features a car corral with cars of every description for sale. Prices, as everywhere, can go from real bargains to really insane. It's fun and a tradition here on the East coast. In fact, many people from all over this country and the world always go to both Carlisle and Hershey. A car lovers dream. If I can be of any help, let me know. John, aka "oldandkrusty"
I live in Pennsylvania, but I'm not sure if they're any club meets in the area that week. Regarding coming to the United States, I suggest going to California, for a car guy it's fantastic (especially during Paso). I think what you're looking for is on the west coast.
lee on october 7th theres a cruise in that happens the 1st saturday of every month...mostly street rods and newer 60's cars but worth while if you want to see something...its real close to hershey in hummelstown its from 4-7pm at the "soda jerk" restaurant...a 50's kinda place...you might like it i live right down the road from hershey about 10 miles and thats all that i know about really close zach
i have been over to the states for the last 4 years (6 times in total) been west and east coast tennessee so going to try pennsylvania this year.what about hot rod shops and go-go bars any good ones?
posies (street rod) shop is right down the street maybe 3 miles from hershey thats pretty much it really close www.posiesrodsandcustoms.com the AACA antique museum is close and worth a visit www.aaca.org the eastern museum of auto racing is open but its a bit farther away www.emmr.org zach
Hershey is THE place for your interests--everything you ever wanted is there in one gigantic encampment--think Beauliegh (spelling???) autojumble times 10 or 20... No one within 500 miles of Hershey does anything except Hershey in early October! Carlisle is more slanted towards 1960's cars, but is huge and always has some interesting deuce stuff.
Well, actually, I've been searching Pennsylvania for deuce stuff on a "Scorched Earth" basis for the last several years--I think I have successfully moved everything worth having into my basement. You can still see the dents left in the mud by some of my '32 parts if you visit Hershey, though.
