those fun Hagerty people are going to bring another dead vehicle to Hershey, and bring it to life with swap meet parts! This time, a Model A car frame

Hagerty’s “Swap to Street Challenge” kicks off on Oct. 4 at the AACA Hershey fall swap meet, Starting with the remnants of a 1930 Ford Model A, four Hagerty employees will attempt to build an entire car in four days using parts sourced at the meet. The entire build will be streamed live, then we’re planning to drive the vehicle 750 miles back to our home offices in Traverse City, Mich.

In addition to a Model A chassis and a non-working four-cylinder flathead engine, the car includes a three-speed manual transmission and its original mechanical brakes. Everything else will have to be located by scouring Hershey’s massive swap meet – more than 9,000 vender spaces covering 85 acres surrounding the Giant Center and Hersheypark.

For updates on the team’s preparations and more details on the vehicle, visit www.hagerty.com/swaptostreet. If you’re planning to attend the meet, please stop by and watch the build, which will be located on the Chocolate Field near the pedestrian bridge. Those of you who want to watch from home can subscribe to the livestream here: www.YouTube.com/Hagerty/live.

Henley Enterprises of Valvoline Instant Oil Change is raising funds and increasing awareness for National Breast Cancer Foundation throughout the month of October

The wipers are available at over 210 participating Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations in 12 states.

Now in its fifth year, the campaign has raised more than $55,000 for NBCF. “This campaign gives back to the communities in which we serve. The pink wipers are a highly visible product that many Americans can rally behind. The blades allow individuals who have been affected or know someone affected by breast cancer to show their support” states Don Smith, founder and CEO of the Valvoline Instant Oil Change franchisee.

Valvoline Instant Oil Change will be kicking off the month long campaign October 1st with a ‘Pink Out Day’ including pink give-a-ways at participating locations. Double donations will be made to NBCF on pink wipers sold this day. For more information and a location list visit http://www.vioc.com/pink-wipers , and follow the campaign with #PinkOilChange.

The Ursery family that owns the Valvoline Instant Oil Change location in Clarkeville Tennessee
decided that it would make a bigger impact if they painted their Wilma Boulevard store pink, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.

“During the month of October, we will donate $2.00 for every oil change to the Sarah Cannon Research Center, to help fund the research into a cure for Cancer. We will also encourage our customers to make a donation that will go directly to this campaign,” said Candace Ursery. “We will also host a cook-out on October 11th at our “pink” facility where we will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, and invite everyone out to enjoy the food and make a donation to our campaign.”

tell me it's not true... Plymouth couldn't have been this ridiculously desperate to sell cars in 1965... they had Max Wedges and Hemi engines! They had dual quads!

this was one of the many Plymouth mini cars used in the 1964 New York Worlds Fair

Playmate Tish was there to promote and sign autographs to get you to buy a GT 500 KR

Makes me wonder how often a playmate was called up to help bring some excitement to a car sale

Lucky to walk afterwards, Mike Conroy, 2010. One broken leg and vertebra

Scott Richardson took the best series of photos of this entire moment, but I didn't find that until after posting all these from different sources.... but go look at http://www.scottrichardsonphotography.com/2010/05/31/indianapolis-500-conway-wreck-5-30-10/ and you'll agree

Notice the stock steel rims were painted sorta weird

The driver, John Petrie, was so adept at slapping down the Fords, that Ford had to hire him away from the Mopar camp. Well, that didn't last long before Mopar offered him the Canadian traveling performance clinic gig, and the cars and rig for his drag racing effort http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-196970-and-71-super-car-clinic-i-just.html
