Trip to Hershey

We headed to Hershey, PA to spend a few days at Hershey Park.  And of course, we found a few car related things to do while we were there.  On Father's Day, we attended the last day for the Elegance at Hershey.  The cars there were just astonishing!  I am used to going to car shows & seeing exotics, muscle cars, & hot rods.  But nothing like these cars.  These cars are truly special. 

The car pictured above is one example of the cars there.  This one is a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8c-2900B Spider by Touring.  This is the car that won The Governor's Cup Best of Show this year.  This car was among the fastest production cars of its time.

Another unique car, one I have never seen or heard of, a 1937 Talbot-Lago T-150C SS.  Talbot-Lago only produced 14 of these cars, 13 of which have survived.  Very rare car.

I could go on & on about the different cars we saw there.  It was amazing to walk around & see them all.  The setting was perfect too.  The show is held every year at the Hotel Hershey.   The grounds are just stunning.  The grounds only added to all the cars beauty.  Also, we got to meet Wayne Carini, host of the tv show Chasing Classic Cars.  What an honor to meet him!  I do wish though that he was able to attend the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year, but hopefully another time & we'll get to meet him again.

Would we attend the Elegance at Hershey again?  Most definitely.  We've already talked about heading back again next year.  We highly recommend going if you ever get the chance.

Now, we also decided to stop at the AACA car museum in Hershey.  This is another place that car lovers should see.  They have a wide range of cars & do change their displays on occasion.

The first car that you see when you walk into the museum (sitting outside the museum is the Hershey Kissmobile) is this Buick.  A gorgeous car.  They have three levels to walk around.  It's a car lovers dream to be able to walk around & see all types of cars.  They also have a little area for the kids to play so that you can stop & take a break with the kids before moving on.

We had a wonderful time in Hershey.  The park was great too. So if you ever make it out to Hershey, PA, stop at the AACA museum & try to plan it around the time of the Elegance at Hershey.  You won't be sorry.
