I'm playing with the idea of going to fall Carlisle or Hershey but not both. If you had your choice which is the better meet for Petroliana? Since they are so close isn't it the same dealers?

I've only been to Carlisle in spring and fall. But some vendors in the fall only go to Hershey, since there events are so close together. I enjoy Carlisle though because I'm more a muscle car kinda guy not a model A era.

Hershey always turns up the good, early stuff.


Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

I used to do Carlisle in spring and fall, but last year went to Hershey in fall and was astounded. I now do Hershey
even though it rained everyday, I still loved it and saw things I never seen before.
I will still do carlise in spring, but I see a lot of empty spaces now --seems to be changing
talked to some vendors and they don't seem too happy with them
do you not do Carlisle anymore thermoman?

Try about 20-30 minutes north or west for vacancies and lower rates.


Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ
