AACA Car Show Pics

Just got back from the AACA National Meet held at Hershey PA. Great show, great weather, great cars and other means of transportation.

Here's a small sampling of what was there. Enjoy!!

Some great pics!

The 69 Blue on Blue 427 sidepipe car is a twin to mine...AC and Smog included. Still trying to decide if I am going to clean up the engine bay or leave it original as found.

Great photos! Is it PA law to have fire extinguishers by each vehicle? I noticed they all had one below the front bumper. Never saw that at NJ shows.

Thanks for posting, you got some great shots. Still, I can't believe it really was Hershey, if the weather was great!

Not a PA law that I'm aware of. I think it's an AACA recommendation/requirement, though it's been a long time since I showed a car at an AACA National meet. The NCRS recommends that anyone showing a car at an NCRS meet, have a fire extinguisher. To encourage owners to carry one, the NCRS awards bonus points in judging, to cars that have one.

Midway through the pics there is a red roadster with a six-cylinder in-line engine. What is that car?

I have never seen a Nash Healey. Sounds like a USA/Britain hybrid much like the Sunbeam Tiger.
