TAKerry Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have wandered across Hershey for many years. I see many interesting 'parts' and have thought about the artistry and how cool they look just on their own. Then I thought better about buying something just because it looks neat. Its nice to see someone has acted on that impulse. I will have to have a different attitude next time around. Great collection, keep up the good work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Some very nice pieces @johnjohn !!! I’m still drooling over that nice ‘28 Buick radiator complete with that iconic winged flying goddess cap, that’s gotta be one of your most favorite pieces. Those Olds taillights, sorta the end of the Art Deco period, which I love! Thanks for taking the opportunity to share here, I mean that’s part of the fun of collecting, the sharing. Some might think folks are “showing off” when they post their collectibles here, not me, I appreciate it, keep ‘em coming! 😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a few times for european parts, I sold a hood ornament for a ford consul to complete the car, it was only missing the ornament, recently I sold a rare steering wheel for a peugeot 203 and I know it will return on a car for it's restoration 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
