4 homes later, yeah no regrets on that score. I'm deep in the black column these days. Do I still want it? You bet your Hurst shift pattern T handle I do, but the current owner said "...pry my cold dead fingers off the steering wheel." when I asked if he'd sell it. I don't blame him. I once sold a dream condition 36 Ford 3W hot rod for $3,850. More than doubled our $. Today I'd get $75K out of it just as it sat. Might take some time to sell though, probably 3 or 4 days...🤭
Title for another thread, what cars /parts did you sell to buy your house? Back in 1978 I sold set of NOS ARDUN Heads to pay for the plumbing in the hose I built and still live in.

You can get lost on the Google image search by typing in Hiram P. Maxim and Frederick Richard Simms, machine guns, pre 1900 autos, and aeroplanes and flying tanks. The Simms Scout with the Maxim below looks easy to park in any city.

Thats interesting. Have seen plenty of Stevens guns. And read about Stevens autos here. Didnt know there was a connection.
Are there any other auto brands that are affiliated with gun manufacturing??RUGER here in Connecticut, built two prototype cars in the 1970's that looked somewhat like a Blower Bentley, 427 Ford powered and used a Divco milk truck front axle. He also had a fine collection of restored pre war cars. Bob

Thanks Walt, seeing what others bought is always fun. I delivered a wheel that was bought on line and met the buyer for the first time, always fun to meet someone with like interests for the first time. He had a GREAT meet kept stopping buy to share the finds of his day. I had a needed hood delivered, that my sales covered. Never went out shopping for stuff to flip, some years are like that. Missed having the Grandkids with us for the first time, but having our dog along for the first time was a lot of fun. Will be back in 2024 for 55 in a row. Thanks to everyone that makes the happiness happen.

Stafford may have too many snow blowers, but the $10.00 Lozier hub cap was one of my greatest finds there. Hit Thompson once, just so far away and in the same state.

There were two DB5's used in Thunderball and Goldfinger. The missing car was used for the driving shots. The "gadget car" is alive and well.
Never knew that, so the "Real" car is still with us, the prop is missing, nothing to worry about, keep looking for the missing Bugattis, Mercers and Duesenbergs.

Unsold things are put away till next year, hood I bought has one stubborn pin that I'm trying to remove. Filled five barrels with leaves, what are your fall/winter car plans? Having all four doors fit and working on the '29 Model A by Spring time is my goal. Need to take some photo to go with a new thread I plan to start tomorrow.

Every town has dealerships for new cars, stop in and ask them about their "Car Clubs".

If Hank could type he would say he had a great time, enjoyed his walks on the lawns and inspecting the trees. LOVED the 4 hour drive, couldn't take his eyes off the landscape. He added a lot of new members to his Fan Club.

I missed the members of AACA (Hershey Region members?) greeting us at the entrance to the Chocolate field in the morning as in years past.

The largest majority of people entering the hobby have always been those who are somewhere in the area of 45 to 60 years of age. That is when most people have reached the point that they have the disposable income for a hobby car, and are more likely to have garage space or the ability to afford to pay for garage space. It does not surprise me that the Gen X group of hobbyists would now be larger than Baby Boomers and Pre-Boomers portion of the hobby. None of us is going to live forever, but despite all of the gloom and doom predictions, it looks like the younger generations are still interested in the antique car hobby. The hobby will still be alive and well after most of us aren't.
I was 10 years old when Mom dropped me off at the local HCCA annual meet here in town in 1961 in a BRAND NEW Ford. , The show had a 1942 cut off and I don't play to ever change my definition of "Antique Automobiles"

You can get ice from the food vendor in the north chocolate field. The one by the end of the car corral.
Dale's is no longer set up as a food vendor, BIG LOSS to everyone that enjoyed having his family there every year.

Are there any official rules about dogs in the Hershey swap meet?

Looks like a European wheel, a French make used the five spoke design. Bob

"PROJECT" has now become nearly unaffordable to ever do ?

That has always been my Rule #1, "Never buy a car you don't like." I figure if it can't be sold I don't want the ugly thing reminding me every time I look at it.
