Didn't get a chance to go to Hershey this year.   :'(   How was it?  Did they change auction companies?  I'm curious if prices in the car corral and auction seem to be stable.  Any feedback would be welcome.

Wednesday was WINDY!! Heard a couple port a johns got blown over, plus tents, boxes, etc.   Thursday was great; sunny and about 70F. 

Friday was predicted to rain most of the day and I think it caused several vendors to pack up & leave end of the day Thursday.  We did get rain for about 10 mins in the morning; just long enough to put on your rain gear.  Think it rained lightly & briefly again a short while later.  The afternoon cleared up and turned out to be another nice day.  Great swap meet weather. 

Saturday started out rainy & damp but by early afternoon the sun was shining.  Car show was great, as always - many of the 'regulars' and some vehicles that we haven't seen before. 

Overall swap attendance seemed down a bit and there were quite a few empty vendor spaces.  Heard a couple vendors say that their sales were down also. 

Car corral was pretty full; with the new location around the perimeter of the Giant parking lot, seems to get bigger every year.  Prices were across the board; some deals to be had and some prices were quite amusing. 


Any word from the CLC tent if attendance (based on sign in sheets) was on par to previous years, higher or lower?

It sure looks like it to me. I wonder if it's made from a real Tucker or if it's fiberglass.

I read something about this car a while ago.  I don't think it was actually built during the time period that the original 50 some Tuckers were produced.  It was assembled from a collection of parts and Tucker cars within the past few years.

Obviously, anyone buying such a car would want full documentation on it, and would know what they are buying.

The sight of the show cars driving into the meet is always a feast for the eyes.

It's funny how that top makes the car look more like a Buick.

I just read the article.

So that's why it looks like a Buick!
