An article by Jean Jennings, President and Editor-in-Chief at Automobile Magazine, is tooting the horn for a Hershey Car Show, "The Elegance at Hershey". In the article she tells us, the reader, that Hershey is having a revival to its car show status it once enjoyed. This is great for Hershey but what about Central PA?
I have been a Classic Car Nut for many years and slowly but surely I have come to realize that Central Pennsylvania, is rich in Classic Cars however, you could say that Central PA is much like the Pittsburgh Pirates. How? Well, like the Pirates we have some of the best players,or in this case, the best cars. Sadly,
in spite of this fact, the top ones end up going to the major leagues. They go to Barrett Jackson Auctions and to Hershey Car Shows. Now is the time for the Central Pennsylvania Classic Car Business to stand up on its own!
Here's the thing, Central PA is alive with Car Shows and Events all summer long. Take a look at just few examples:
Classic Shine at the Lake Curwensville Lake
Snow Shoe Annual Fall Festival & Car Show Snow Shoe
Super 322 Drive-In Car Show Bigler

It is time for someone to assemble a Central PA Car Show Extravaganza. Perhaps a show the size of Carlisle with a high end car auction. A show that will bring car enthusiasts from all over the US and Canada. Music, swap meets, food vendors and more. We all know it can be done. how does it start?
I can not think of a better place than the Clearfield County Fair Ground. Ample space, ample parking, ample vendors, ample hospitality. All that is needed is organization of about a thousand cars and a few sunny days.
If I missed your favorite car show or event please let me know and I will add it.
