desoto1939 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) I went to the big meca known as Hershey Fall Swap Meet and car show on Wednesday 10/5/16. Had the opportunity to meet up with Walt Redmond and had some lunch together. I have attached a picture of us. Walt is to the left I am the one wearing the National Desoto Shirt. The weather was perfect. I walked about a total of 6 miles on Wednesday according to my cell phone. I was tired the next day. Edited October 8, 2016 by desoto1939 added the picture 2 Quote

What'd ya buy, what'd ya buy? I guess you are talking about the guy on the far right. I purchased a NOS breaker Plate for my 39 Desoto and also purchased from a vendor for a good price a NOS steering sector for a 38 Plymouth. Hershey is changing, I did not find much for my 39 Desoto. I found the usual ignition parts but no real major parts. Did find a pair of used and I mean used headlight buckets, reflectors, glass, wiring harness and headlight chrome covers. The cost was $450. I already have several of these that are NOS so I did not need them another vendor hard the headlight rings and glass but the rings were all pitted. Walt came to Hershey with MR Landgon who makes the custom dual intake manifolds for our Mo Par cars. We had some great discussions and I was glad to meet this gentleman while at Walt's vending site. It was cloudy here in Philadelphia on Saturday and a little rain so do not know how the weather was at Hershey for the car show. Hopefully next year we can get more members to attend and maybe have a bigger crowd for some pictures. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote
Andydodge Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 Rich, nice pic, its good to put a face to the names..........one day if I win lotto I'll see you there.....lol.......have 2 questions...1. what is a "philly style cheese steak" as advertised on the stand behind you guys and 2. Are you related to the late gentleman named "Hartung" that was mentioned on Wayne Carini's "Chasing Classic Cars" TV show a couple of yrs ago..........just curious.............lol.......regards, andyd Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Posted October 10, 2016 A PHILLY CHEESE STAKE is really only found in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. There is a long roll similar to a Grinder or Hoagie roll not a hotdog roll. And there is onloy one real roll company in Philly that makes the rolls. Then there is a special steak that sliced real thin and then grilled on a flat grill with some olive oil. Then it is chopped to a fine slivers. Most people put fried onions not slices but chopped and then they can put provolone cheese on the opened roll and then the steak and then the onions. Some shops use a whipped yellow orange cheese similar to velvita cheese and in Philly you say whit if you wan the melted cheese or whit out if you do not want the cheese. Also some people put hot and sweet peppers on the cheesesteak along with the fried onions. Other states try to imitate a Philly Cheese Steak but you can only get the original from Philly. You have to have a real good one if you ever come to Philadelphia. On the name of Hartung, I missed the show in which he mentioned the name so I am not sure if I am related. Rich Hartung Quote
