Conn47D24 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Rich, sorry to miss you there. It was a great show. Weather perfect. Found lots of nos, mopar, and auto-lite tune up items. Very cheap. Few other cool items too. No Miller tools unfortunately. Quote
fstfish66 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Posted October 10, 2017 shame I ddint log on sooner was there on wensday, most of the day, got 2 key blanks for my 40 dodge trunk and he cut them there on the spot 6 bucks each,,,,then got a lock cylinder new with keys for the compartment door behind the seat into the trunk,,n ow t osee if every thing else is there to make it work Quote
40plyguy Posted October 10, 2017 Report Posted October 10, 2017 Was there all day Friday. Amazing how much stuff is there and the quality of the cars. Last time I was there was 2001. I like how everything is on a paved surface now. Unfortunately I think it's my last visit to Hershey. Too long of a drive for me-12+ hrs and too many tolls to pay. I paid more in tolls than in gas! The other unfortunately is there's no local show or swap meet that can compare.................The weather was outstanding and my wife and I enjoyed Fri evening in downtown Carlisle. So it was a good time anyway....................... 1 Quote
fstfish66 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 I hear ya tolls,,, 35 bucks round trip and 15 to park,,,but was still glad I went Quote
40plyguy Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 I came from Wisconsin and paid tolls for the majority of the roads I traveled through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pa. Pa was more than 35 bucks one way. I anticipated this problem and purchased an IPass in Illinois the day b4 I left. I registered it and thought all was cool until I came to the 1st toll. It wouldn't accept the IPass. After calling the co that issues the transponders, I found out that because I was from out of state I had to wait 48 hrs before using it. Total nonsense! I thought 15 bucks to get in wasn't bad at all especially when there's no real admission fee...............To anyone fr Pa, does an IPass/EZ pass reduce the price of the tolls in your state like it does in others?

Several years ago Ohio did not recognise the PA ezpass. The best buck in town becasue you do not have to wait inline and have extra cash on hand for tolls. But I hope you had a great time at Hershey it relly is a super huge event. I have been going for 30+ years. Rich Hartung Quote
