BobT-47P15 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I spoke two nights ago with old Mopar vendor Ed Spiegel who says they are going to be at Hershey. He says they are going to rustle up some new and different parts to bring with them....so will be going thru their warehouse. His space address should be listed in the official booklet produced by the swap meet management. If you need new door sill step plate rubbers .... the fellow who designed them and has them made says he will be there. Last year he was back by a fence, but I can't recall for sure -- maybe the green field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Looking at my notes from last yr .. some vendor with Mopar parts from 1936 to 70 (maybe Ed) was at space C3E 25-29 in the chocolate field north, near light post #29, Also another vendor of 1930 to 48 Plymouth parts was at space CX65-72 by light post #70......chocolate south. Otherwise -- look everywhere you go cause I found miscellaneous things at vendors who basically had no Plymouth stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Last time I was there was 1973. All grass. In those days when you got anywhere near the town the chocolate aroma was overwhelming. My guess is you have to go to Mexico to get that aroma today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Don --- I did not smell any chocolate last year at the meet grounds. Parking is still on grass, but the show field has pretty much been all paved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershey is dead as far as candies. Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar_earl Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I got a few good buys on items for my 52. Found lots that the budget wouldn't allow. We got caught in the downpour waiting on the shuttle. Fortunately we had ponchos and umbrellas in our backpack. We're here till Sunday afternoon. We got all of red and chocolate fields done. Saturday we will start on orange and green till it peters out. Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS48plm Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I did the Chocolate and red on Friday. I got to the Chocolate World just as the rain started. I spotted quite a few P-15 parts. I saw a D6G1 carburetor for 10 bucks and a nice 802 radio for 25. JohnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar_earl Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I bought 165 bucks worth of lenses for 60. I got a complete left tail light assembly with harness and a good bezel for 15. A mint wheel cover for 5. A pair of stainless headlight rings for 10. Found lots of other items that I'd of like to had but the car budget isn't unlimited.

mopar_earl Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) shuttle ??? from where to where,,so i know next time i go,thank uThe shuttles are school buses that are marked AACA. They run from 3 stops at the show (4 during the car show). They run to the Hersheypark Campground Resort, AACA Museum and the hotel beside the museum. They run 8 to 5 Wednesday through Friday. 7 to 3 Saturday. The bus stops are marked on the maps in the program.
