Hershey in the spring?

[crazycars]

Just couldn't make it to Hershey this time and it really killed me to miss it.  I've never been to the Spring (?) Hershey but might try for it. How does it compare to the fall meet?

much much smaller-no comparison.

HITS or Hershey in the Spring died at least 20 or 25 years ago.

Hershey in the Spring was a commercial operation and not affiliated with AACA.

Depending on where you're from, the SE spring meet in Charlotte, hosted by the Hornets Nest Region, is worth going to. It's a large scale operation at the speedway. I only live 25 minutes from Hershey, but the family and I have made it down to Charlotte the past few springs and really enjoy it.

I stopped going to Charlotte two years ago, I went for many years selling and buying,  Seems all tools,buffing,sandblasters,reproduction, every corner is reproduction chevy ford, nothing really in  early parts anymore, all hot rod and muscle and modern stuff. It used to be really good, I suppose you can find some stuff, but if your into early 20s cars plus 1928-1932 Plymouth desoto chrysler dodge just not there In my opinion or worth the drive for me.

good luck

I have always loved Charlotte.  The food is great, hotel rooms reasonably priced and the people are extremely friendly.   I will admit that pre war car parts are not as plentiful as at Hershey, however post war is probably more so.   I took a friend along a year or so ago who was looking for rear inner fenders for a 39 Chevy (I think) anyway he found 3 sets in less than 2 rows in the flea market .  If you go plan on 3 days for the flea market and leave time for the AACA show
