oldford Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You can guess that I just received my Hershey stickers. I always like to go through the papers in the package to see what new arbitrary rules someone has dreamed up. Been going to Hershey since 1972 and had a booth there since about 1984, or so. Now to the point... Just what does Hershey Region consider to be a modified??? I don't like hot rods or modifieds at an antique car show any more than the next REAL car collector. In fact, I think the modifieds are the primary reason that our local big show in Rhinebeck, NY has gone to the dogs. But I have to ask, if I bring my 1912 Model T Rootlieb style speedster with its Frontenac overhead and bright yellow wire wheels to put in my booth for sale, will I be asked to leave??

Bhigdog Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sprinkle some straw and hay over it, add a generous helping of chicken doo doo, throw a few old crates in it, and let the air half out of the tires. Then hang a big ole "FRESH BARN FIND" sign on it. It'll be sold off the field before anyone's the wiser. Most likely for top dollar................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some cutoff year that the modification is allowable if it was made before that?Of course, here we go again. Has it been a week already since the last anti hot rod thread was closed?

oldford Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Joe, I assure you that this was not intended to be an anti hot rod thread. I would suggest that if the Hershey Region want to ban modifieds, it should at least identify what they consider a modified to be. I'll bet you'll see at least 2 LaFrance speedsters in the Red Field again this year. I love the old speed equipment and can't wait to see it perform on the grounds, but if I risk being banned because of my vintage speed equipment, I should at least be aware of the ground rules.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This topic is up to three pages on "Another Site". As I understand things they don't want MODIFIED vehicles in the flea market. Tell that to the guy that drives up the gate in a 1950 Ford Rack Body fulled with sheetmetal fron South Dakota with a 289 smallblock under the hood. Seeing this type of vehicle is a real treat to me.I don't care how the parts get to the flea market, let them in so we can buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO...you guys should understand the goals of the rules. "Arbitrary rules" I am not aware of any rule changes the past several years as the region uses the national guidelines. We have not updated these for awhile.Let's not make a problem where none exists. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 If you'd like to see thousands of Modified cars in the Car Corral and Swap Meet, come on down to Charlotte Autofair in April. You'll also find an equal number of original cars & trucks FS, plus some with mag wheels or incorrect hubcaps. It ain't Hershey, but the rules are simpler and there are bargains to be had.Just a thought. TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think about you two every day, hope all is well. Looks like my 2007 Hershey ride will have a new home in a few days. What a trip, thanks for your help! Bob:DBob you know I'd buy it!Your old Friend Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 As I understand things Hershey 2010 will be just like Hershey 2009, same vendors driving the same cars & trucks with car parts for us to buy. I like seeing old trucks loaded with parts, not everyone has a new crew cab dually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest delawareoldford Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 the way i read the reply from steve, both here and on another site. your not going to get kicked out of the swapmeet for hauling in your parts in a vehical thats not stock. my concern was towards this and not trying to bring in a highly modified vehical to display it forsale like a streetrod or a custom that was the main cause of this being mentioned in the information sheet that came with the stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 That was how I understood what Steve posted, don't drive into the flea market and place a "For Sale' sign on a Street Rod or 2010 Ferrari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
