    Was able to get to the annual show in Hershey Pennsylvania.

    Sorry for all the sun glare. I couldn't see anything on the phone all day.

    Only three vehicles in the Military class this year.

    I do like to see a toolkit. Bart H. Vanderveen told a friend of mine that a military vehicle is not complete without its toolkit and I've rather taken that to heart. My spark plug collecting acquaintances speak of a good Hershey, but I have a feeling that in the same way as Beaulieu in the UK, it is increasingly a case of meeting up with internet friends and pre-arranged sales and purchases.

    Just noticed the .22 holes in the wooden stand of the Packard sign.

    Packard to the right of the Duezy

    Duezy 7 liter straight eight. Chain driven overhead cams with 4 valves/cylinder. J had 265 HP, supercharged SJ had 320 HP and the two SSJs had 400 HP in 1932. Clark Gable owned one of them and Gary Cooper the other. Both still exist but weren't at the show :(

    Only type of EV I like

    One of many Model T classes. Would have loved to dress up as Stan Laurel and watched the owners flee in terror

    The swap meet/flea market area. They were packing up after 5 days. A lot of people said it was smaller than past years, as Rich said. Still pretty big though.

    upload_2022-10-9_18-13-7.png

    This guy was asking somthing like $325k for this 58. I don't know much about prices but that sounds high. It was very nice though. 59 behind it was rough.

    upload_2022-10-9_18-16-46.png

    For you guys

    upload_2022-10-9_18-18-11.png

    Of course

    upload_2022-10-9_18-19-18.png

    38 Caddy V-16. I believe he was asking $340k. Beautiful Packard behind it had to manage with only a V-12

    Perfect XK120

    The perfect XK120 was the open blue one an acquaintance had. He paid £80 for it. I think that first gear was up to the left of the gate on its own and made a lovely whine, a bit like a coal lorry with a full load going up a hill. Petrol was 5 shillings a gallon back then : four gallons to the pound ( and some had tigers in it, according to Esso.) That was for 3*, 5* was for Jags ( 99 octane? ) so may have been 5 and 6 pence. So mate's car cost 320 gallons of petrol. Super unleaded petrol - 97 octane - from Tesco is about £1.80 a litre these days so about £8.17 a £ stirling - about £2,700. Come to the UK, Dave, and try and find an XK 120 for that today ! You might just get a proper old Mini, not the modern BMW version, if it was very rough, but much more fun than a Jaguar. Regarding the Rolls Royce, I thought the armoured car version was based on the Silver Ghost engine, which engine was made until about 1925. Thanks for posting the pictures.

    Here are some of the cars arriving at the show last year. Not my video. I can't get there in time to see them drive in.
