  1. Except for one helping of fries and one ice cream, I don't buy any food at Hershey. I pack my own lunch and sit in the car and relax while I eat. I figure the less I spend on food, the more I have to spend on Hershey "stuff."
  2. I agree with you about the empty spaces and RV parking. I think the solution is that if you rent a space in the flea market that you MUST agree to stay until 3:00 PM the last day. No leaving early. If you do, then you don't get a space the next year. Next year, with the market opening on Tuesday and the the car show on Friday - venders will start packing up on Thursday morning unless something is done.
  3. A friend of mine has a set of Yesteryear cars Y1 through Y16 from the 1960's. His wife bought them for him in the late 60's from a hobby store that was going out of business. He said he's only had them out of the boxes a couple of times since he got them. I mentioned at our Rotary club meeting my interest in cars and models, so he has asked me to find out if they have any value. I've done some checking on E-bay and Facebook and it appears they are not particularly valuable, but I thought I would check here. They aren't something I would normally collect but they are nice and I would buy them from him. Based on what I've found out, I was thinking $5 each - $85 for the whole set. Does that seem reasonable?
  4. Beautiful Buick. Not a fan of white, but it sure looks good on this car. Dealer sales order says it has wire wheel covers so someone must have changed them out for the road wheels at some point.
  5. I haven't looked at or posted here for long time. Somehow just kind of forgot about it being here. Interesting that the first thing I looked at upon coming back was this survey. I voted and was surprised to see that my choices coincided with the majority of votes so far. However, I wouldn't want this site to become so restrictive that someone can't mention something that in someone else's mind doesn't "fit" whatever rules are put in place.
  6. Regrettably, I have only driven my '71 LeSabre 9 miles this year. I took it out once prior to the registration expiring in July to a local cruise in. I didn't bother to register it but I may yet so I can take it out once more before putting it up for the winter. It's perfectly driveable but needs work to make it more enjoyable to drive.
  7. Made reservations at LaQuinta on Eisenhower Dr. for this year when I checked out last year and was pleasantly surprised at the price. Have stayed there 4 of the last 3 years, easy to take the back way in to Hershey and close to Capital Diner.
  8. It's disappointing to take the time to come to Hershey and plan to stay the week only to have vendors pack up and leave early.
  9. Took my '71 LeSabre to the garage for it's annual oil change this afternoon before I put it up for the winter. It needs some mechanical work, but hate to not get it serviced. Only drove it 64 miles since I put it up last year.
  10. Really, really nice. I'm not a fan of black walls or dog dish caps, but gotta admit, they look good on it.
  11. Yes, I've seen this one advertised many times. It looks really nice but I agree it is overpriced. I sold my '66 LeSabre with 19,000 miles on it for $4500 in 2005, albeit the paint was nowhere near as good as this one. I'd say this one is worth about half of the asking price. My .02 worth.
  12. Wow, there is an identical car for sale in my area - same colors, same narrow whitewalls, unrestored original car with 60-70K on it. Not as nice as yours, though.
  13. I know long range forecasts aren't terribly reliable, but just checked Tuesday - partly sunny, high 70 / low 55 Wednesday - mostly cloudy, 70 / 56 Thursday - mostly cloudy, 72 / 53 Friday - mostly sunny, 73/51 Saturday - mostly cloudy, showers possible, 71 / 46 Looks like pretty much ideal weather for wandering around - not too hot, not too cold, small possibility of rain on Saturday.
