Hershey-Sweetest Spot on Earth

Every fall, like migrating geese, thousands of antique auto enthusiasts head for Hershey-the largest gathering of antique autos on earth. They come from all over the world-they buy cars, parts, show cars and motorcycles and have one heck of a good time.

I'm into characters and they abound here. They express themselves in their clothes and their rides. All makes of cars are represented-their clubs having tents for recruitment and fraternization.

Cars, motorcycles, and parts are for sale - everywhere. Check out the neat Ford woody wagon-with a mere $175,000 price tag. How about the cartoon character car with thousands of cartoon characters painted on the body.

One couple dressed in antique motorcycle clothing, received a lot of laughs and applause as they drove their 1949 Indian Service Cycle on the shoe field-the sign read, "World's Slowest Indian".

Need some horsehair to stuff an old seat? See Mel -he will sell you the hair and the hide. If you need it -you will probably find it at Hershey.
