Each year, it seems there is more to see during what has become affectionately known as meet week. Although the AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania, officially kicks off this year on Wednesday, you can always arrive a little early and stop by the AACA Museum on Route 39, just one mile from the swap meet fields, to check out their newest short-duration exhibit of two rare Willys-Knights.
Through Thursday, a 1930 Great Six Plaidside Phaeton – one of only three 66-B Phaetons ever built – will join a Great Six Plaidside Roadster; only the single phaeton and nine such roasters are known to exist. It should be noted that the phaeton is the car that appeared at the New York Auto Show when new. Both are currently under the care of cinematographer Al Giddings.
In anticipation of higher volume, the AACA Museum has once again expanded it hours during meet week: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. through Wednesday; 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sunday. More information can be found at www.aacamuseum.org, or by calling 717-566-7100.
