The Elegance & Ascent at Hershey 
June 14-26

The Elegance at Hershey is a celebration of a bygone era when the automobile stirred our imaginations and quickened our hearts.

Two full days of vintage racing Friday and Saturday up the fabled Hershey Hillclimb including the Elegance Challenge 5K on Saturday, followed by The Elegance on Sunday, make this an incredible weekend.  From race cars to street cars that were not only about pure performance but also incorporated artistic design, a symphony of sound and sensory overload worthy of the finest wines.  Cars were not just about transportation; they were a statement.

This is much more than a celebration it is also about causes.  Raising money for charity is the ultimate point of the event; JDRF, The AACA Museum and AACA Library & Research center will all benefit.

Tickets are available at TheEleganceAtHershey.com or by phone 717-534-1910.

Don't miss it!
