starfireelvis Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 As an FYI, I will be at Fall Hershey Wednesday through Friday at the swap meet, Saturday on the show field (with my white '62 Olds Dynamic 88 Fiesta station wagon). I will have flyers for this car should anyone need to pick one up; my cell phone is 330/388-0192. Thanks, and hoping that everyone has a safe trip to and from this year's Fall Meet.

I will update accordingly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
