and the wind has dropped, so a huge crowd has been here since 8 am, and the atmosphere is typical of a great car show. There’s a good selection of cars for sale, with the prices dropping hourly. Another fairly new feature of the


show is the auction that runs over two days. This year there are more than 300 cars consigned with prices more reasonable than those of our friends in Scottsdale, and the offerings are much better than the past. Although there are no Boss 429s, Superbirds or Hemi Cudas, there are some great Mustangs and Chevelles. With the bidding moving at a really fast pace, there have been some excellent details. The feature car this year is Burt


Reynolds’ personal reproduction of his famous Bandit 1977 Pontiac Grand Am, which has sold for an amazing $170,000, considering


that it is not the original movie car. However, it did come with Bert’s autographed hat. The cost to be a bidder is only


$100, which includes an open bar plus food, which can be worth the price even if you don’t plan on bidding. If you are looking to spend a


week or so in the area, I recommend the fall Carlisle show (Sept. 30–Oct. 4), then a day at Gettysburg, if you are a history buff. You can finish the week at the fall Hershey car show


from Oct 7–10. Downtown Carlisle is more than


200 years old, and it makes a great walking tour. Over the years we have tried different hotels with the stipulation that they are close to the show and also near some decent bars. We like the Park Inn on Carslisle Pike, which has an Irish pub and a huge patio bar. It’s only about 15 minutes from the show, so it has been our choice for the past few years.
