The weather couldn't have been better. Great crowd - lots of foreign buyers which surprised me a little with the euro depressed.

My son and I spent Friday afternoon drooling at the Hershey car corral. This event just keeps getting bigger and better.

As good as the black '67 Olds 442 looks in the picture, it was even more stunningly beautiful in person. A first class restoration, indeed. 4-speed, deep black paint, red interior and red pinstripe. I think the asking price was $55,000? This thing really made my flight suit tight! A good friend of mine had one of these beasts when we were in high school. Man, you wanna talk about torque!

My son is 14 and whenever we go to a car show we each choose one car that we would buy if we could have any car from the show. The black 442 was my choice. My son chose a beautiful 1976 Trans Am 4-speed.

That black Olds 442 belongs to a freind, don't know if he sold it or not. He had two cars in the car coral, the Olds and a Mustang, he sold the Mustang on Friday morning. He had a lot of interest in the Olds but I don't know if anyone came across with the money.

Got several offers on my car - not trying too hard to sell it. I just enjoyed the drive between Hershey and Lancaster each day with the windows down and radio up. Bill sold the '66 conv to a guy from Brazil. Lots of interest in the Shelby cars, but they are still in his showroom for now.
