Steve, in the late '60s I went to work for a speciality chemical company that among other things had a very significant business in photographic processing chemistries, conventional B&W, X-ray, aerial recon for the gov't, and C-41 and E-6 color print and color transparency chemistries for Kodacolor, Kodachrome, Extrachrome, Agfachrome, etc. We had an active camera club and I bought my first good 35mm camera then, a Pentax Spotmatic which I still have and use occasionally. If fact I only switched my primary camera to digital about 5 years ago. I must have many hundred, perhaps 1000, color transparencies taken in the 60s at Hershey and other car shows. I'll have to look to borrow one of those scanners for 35mm slides and scan them and see what might be of interest to this group though the Ektachromes have proven to be less than archival quality after all these years. Hershey especially in the late '60s and '70s was some experience - many of the cars then that were just daily transportation in the spectator lots would make a great car show today.
