Reward for persistence in spite of tired feet.
Many the year at Hershey that my feet were so tired at day's end that I wondered if I could actually make it back to the parking area and my car! But you didn't want to miss anything.
Thanks for the encouragement and I'll scan and post some more. In that last set as I look at the maroon Lincoln phaeton I believe it was by Murphy. The other massive Lincoln with the old Hershey stadium in the background was a touring. The first couple of years I attended Hershey the entire show was inside the stadium, flea market outside.
One feature I remember on the Isotta, to minimize the owner of having to speak with the lowly chauffeur any more than necessary (after all, wealth and privilege had it's requirements), there was a set of electric pushbuttons in the rear and a corresponding set of illuminated lights in a panel on the dash, "left", "right', "stop", "home", etc. What arrogance!
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. Here's some more. The first image is not mine, perhaps from Jim Pearsall. The "48" Imperial Limousine was "rescued" from hospital/ambulance service in South Jersey in the 50's, never saw it again after this showing. Old Packard #1 photo taken at the Burn Foundation Packard celebration in 1999 which predated the Packard Centennial in Warren. Len Wehrle's Darrin at a local meet about 1970; that's Horace DiTecco's '24(?) Dodge depot hack to the left and Ed Jacod's 1201 convertible to the right. The pair of Duesenbergs are from Hershey 1962 or 1963.
PS - just found a 2nd (poor) photo of the 48 Imperial Limo, might as well keep them together here.
