Hot, Hot Hershey....

When you never had the chance to visit Hershey don't believe the stories of old farts who used to park their 300 dollar SWB Ferrari just outside the stadium to pick up some 5 dollar Duesenberg and Hispano parts during storms, during rains, during snow. Don't believe a word, not a letter of what they say, however charming the stories are. We have checked it last year, we have checked it this year: not a single drop of rain. Hershey is hot, flaming hot. And not alone in terms of climate. It is massively popular. It is the place where people come together. Where stuff gathers more than probably anywhere else. Where new standards are set (the electric 1911 Rauch & Lang brought more then $ 170,000 at The Hershey Auction; we wouldn't be surprised if that is an all time record for an electric car).
Hershey is also the place where great cars pop-up from oblivion like nothing. Take a look with us the next few days and we promise you awesome pieces of well preserved and flawlessly restored heavy metal (Matheson)! Back to our judging. It is no secret that we have an appetite for unrestored cars. After long debates with scouts who went out searching the fields for candidates, PreWarCar chose a 1927 Packard 336 Sport Touring by Rollston of New York to be Best of Show (click window). This based on 1. Unmolested originality. 2. Beauty in Design 3. Rarity.
