Playboy Motor Car Corporation was a Buffalo, New York-based automobile company, established in 1947. Playboy offered a small, one seating row convertible, which was one of the first to come standard from factory with a multi-part, retractable hardtop. The company only made 99 cars including 1 prototype, 97 finished serial numbered production cars, as well as 1 unfinished car numbered 98 which has survived with zero miles on the odometer, before going bankrupt in 1951. - Wikipedia

Day 4 - car show day
Real frost on the pumpkins today.
Headed over and was amazed at the lack of traffic. And when we left the show field, it pretty much represented the swap fields. Lots of empty classes.
While there was a large number of early vehicles, the preservation and original class is taking over.
But, where else do you get to see two Plymouth Super Birds? Or a two Playboys (yes, Google Playboy Automotive).
Left around 10:30 am and headed to the antique shops.
Next year --- October 6 - 9 2026

Day 3
Well the cooler temps finally caught up with us.
Almost frost on the windshield this morning. Yes, had a jacket on, but still wearing shorts.
Spaces were emptying, but around 11 am there was a good crowd walking around.
Not much action at the V-8 Club booth, but we did answer a lot of questions.
Well, start planning for next year. We will check out the car show tomorrow and then head for the antique stores (probably already picked over) and start to pack.
Again, I want to thank all the volunteer members who gave the Club some of their time to help out.

Day 2
Rain it did. Started around 10 pm on Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday.
Arrived at space in light rain, and saw that canopy cover was filled with water.
Good news was that the canopy didn't collapse.
Rain stopped and we were able to open around 9 am.
Signed up 2 new members and renews for 8.
Walked about 4.5 miles. Have just about covered the all the fields.
Quite a few empty spaces, but the empty ones have new space markers on the ground so that means that they were purchased, but the owners haven't shown up.
Breezy day with clounds and sun. Thursday will be way cooler.

Day 1
Was at the V-8 Booth most of the day.
Signed up 2 new members and renewed 7 others.
Comfortable day with clouds and breeze.
When finally out to walk around did the Orange and Green fields.
Lots of open spaces, but saw lots of parts. Mostly ones I didn't need.
Final for the day, just short of 6 miles.
Suppose to rain -- but so far it has missed us.

Set up day.
Our usual way onto the field is road constructed........so we had to take Hershey Park Drive.
Took us 12 stop light runs before we could make the turn toward the field and then another 15 minutes to the entrance --- seems everyone wants to cut in front of you.
Got set up and ready for Tuesday.
Walked around for about 3.5 miles and spent some money. Special thanks to our new host.
Weather was cool, then foggy and finally 82.
Ready for 'Happy Hour' if you know what I mean.

We arrived around 2 pm. 82 degrees was impressive for Hershey.
All ready to set up the booth on Monday and be open at 8 am on Tuesday.
