I have the best friends.

A few months ago I hatched this idea to arrange a tour to the aaca museum in Hershey.
their exhibit "ash and maple marvels" featured some of our areas finest wooden station wagons.


in the hustle yesterday, I missed several opportunities, something I don't like to do.
When I arrived home last night I realized that I hadn't taken one good photo all day.. (although I'll certainly share some of my poorly composed photos now!)


this morning, as I prepared to write this, I received a message from my good friend and Hershey native Zach Suhr. While not a Woodie owner I had invited Zach to join us, and alas I missed him..

thanks to Zach for this great shot of the recycled40fordwoodie at the aaca museum in Hershey.


the Day had begun early, Meeting my new best town and country man Mr. Miles and my Model A Woodie brother David just off the Pennsylvania pike.

Our pace to Hershey was somewhat uptempo.. and I was quite impressed with the performance of the Unrestored town and country that kept in my "draft". I wonder just how many drivers have been fooled by Mr Miles vintage "Drive Slow Pennsylvania" license plate.

David quickly developed mechanical issues.. (a cracked water neck!) but we employed the "no woodie left behind mantra" and got him through the tour.

some of my poor photos.
Inside..




after our visit to the Museum and lunch at the "soda Jerk" in Hummelstown, a small group headed to see a fellow woodie club members "collection"

 where I met a friend of a friend. and saw some awesome cars.

A terrific day for driving in the Woodie.
