And what an exciting time we had.  We visited nine museums/collections in four days.

Shrock Brothers (Studebakers) in Coalport, Pennsylvania: [link]

Swigart Automobile Museum in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania: [link]

Mack Museum in Allentown, Pennsylvania: [link]

America On Wheels in Allentown, Pennsylvania: [link]

Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles in Boyertown, Pennsylvania: [link]

Simeone Foundation Automobile Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: [link]

The Matchbox Road Museum in Newfield, New Jersey

A private collection of Hudsons and a museum that's in the process of being built and is not yet open to the public.

We somehow managed to schedule this during Hershey week.  Despite that, we still found plenty of great cars around, including a bunch of spottings on the road!

Expect the trickle of pictures to turn into a flood as time permits.

Swifty
United States
I'm a lifelong car enthusiast who runs a message forum dedicated to 1/64 diecast cars such as Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, GreenLight, M2 Machines, Tomica, Yat Ming, MotorMax, Maisto, Siku, and many more.

I also make car templates that can be printed out and colored or otherwise manipulated in the editing program of your choice (MS Paint, Paint.NET, GIMP, etc.).

And I enjoy taking pictures of real cars when the opportunity arises.

So if you like cars, there's bound to be something in my gallery that's up your alley.

Hey there, I think I registered on your site before but apparently...I forgot the username. Only realized this when my email came up as "already in use" when I tried to register...can you help me with this? Thanks!

Hope you had a merry Christmas. Any new Matchbox activity?

I did, and I hope you did as well! :) Nothing new, unfortunately. The only cars I've picked up since the York toy show back in November was a five pack of Hot Wheels Shelbys. And I got a few 1/43s for Christmas, but I don't normally collect that scale and neither is Matchbox. How about you? Any new additions?

Just one, but it's a beauty: [link]

Most are baby blue and a lot less attractive.
