40 Packard 110 roll over with my parents watching.

FYI, One of the elders in the Studebaker group has identified the car as a 1922-24 Studebaker Big Six model EK "special" sedan. The "special" designation due to the two side mounted spare tires, trunk and some other minor amenities. Thanks to the people here for your help. Bill

OK, this is the best I can do. William Judson DeWitt's car in Godfrey, Ontario and his wife Ethel, 1884 to 1961. Bill

This picture was taken at a friends camp in Canada and we were curious what the car might be. Thanks Bill

I've sad stories about blowing up gas tanks and batteries and people smashing both knees between a car and a bench and people falling out of cars, but this is the funniest. I bought a pair of old horns at the now defunct York, PA Studebaker show and brought them back to my buddies flea market spot. I asked him to cut the nasty wires off of the horns and as he did, he buried his pen knife into my forearm. Blood shot everywhere. We stopped it with some brown paper towels and electrical tape and was in and out of the York hospital with stitches in less than a half hour. Bill

Great Show! A great selection of cars and a time to visit with old and new friends. Congratulations to all the volunteers and organizers. Bill

I enjoy Hershey every year and thank all those who put on a great flea market and great car show. There needs to be someone managing traffic at the PA 39 end of Boathouse Road in the evening. On Thursday and Friday evenings at around 5PM, there is traffic from spectators leaving the two lots at the end of Boathouse Road. I went back to my trailer on Boathouse Road those two afternoons and had the opportunity to pull out with this traffic. There is two lanes of traffic headed north and two lanes of traffic going south toward Hershey Park Drive. It is a very unsafe condition for cars pulling out and going south who have to cross two lanes of traffic and merge with traffic going south towards Hershey Park Drive. I was told there was someone there until about 4:30, but then they left. There needs to be someone there until at least 5 or 5:30. Bill

2016 Grand National - Williamsport
Bill Clark replied to starfireelvis's topic in AACA - Shows and Tours
I've been to more than a dozen Grand National Meets and they never cease to amaze. Always great cars and usually in a great setting. This meet set the bar for great place to have a car show. I usually have some anxiety about trailer parking and getting in and getting out of these shows, but this one was a treat. It was well organized and from my perspective was as smooth as any. My only anxiety was probably self inflicted. I must of messed up my registration, because instead of expecting to be judged for a preservation tab, I had a windshield card that said Repeat Senior. I had hosed off and vacuumed my beater Met before leaving home, but when I got to the show field I spent some extra time cleaning. My apologies to the judging team for having to spend time with my car. It was next to a Isetta so it was invisible anyway. And as a bonus, it was a great picture taking day. Great show. Thanks to everyone involved. Bill Red and White Met. -
A 60 Met Convertible burned a valve and the owner, a mechanic, parked it on a manure heap for 25 years. There was one owner between the mechanic and myself and we did not know each other. I spent a few years working on it and after I was about done I took it back to the mechanic for an inspection. The smile on his face made it one of my more fun restoration days. It went on to be a Grand Nat Sr. Bill

Thank you to the Hershey Region for a GREAT show
Bill Clark replied to jackofalltrades70's topic in Hershey Meet
I thought this years flea market and show was great! It was the thrill of the hunt for old car parts and old friends and I was not disappointed. Saturdays show was one of the greatest and I'd especially like to thank whoever moved the class 04 cars back onto the show field. The weather was just perfect for pictures and I got to use the eraser feature on my Galaxy. As long as the people keep moving you can get a clean picture of the car. A few of my snapshots are here. Thanks to the Hershey Region for a job very well done. Bill <iframe src="http://s190.photobucket.com/user/clarkwd/embed/slideshow/2014%20AACA%20Hershey" height="360" width="480"></iframe> -
Another great show! This was some of the best picture taking weather ever. A special thanks to whoever moved the class 4 cars back onto the show field. Bill

This quote was in reference to 2011 Hershey.I had a Met at Hershey again this year, but did not register it for the show. I missed seeing the show due to a family emergency, (all's OK), but I noticed in the program that the Class 04 cars were once again parked in with the daily drivers. As I stated in my first post, I don't mind the idea of class 04, but after spending the time I did making two Grand National Seniors I don't feel appreciated, being told to park my Mets in the rough.
