AACA Eastern Division Fall Meet in Hershey

Hershey Fall Meet

The Eastern Division AACA National Fall Meet takes place each year during the 1st full week in October.  The Hershey Region began hosting the show in 1955 and has done so each year since then.  

The meet is located in beautiful Hershey, PA on the grounds and parking lots surrounding Hersheypark and The Giant Center.  Hershey is considered one of the largest antique automobile shows and flea markets in the United States.

It consists of over 9,000 flea market spaces, over 1,000 car corral spaces, and approximately 1,500 show cars.  Each year the show attracts visitors from all over the United States and many countries throughout the world.  Some of the most unusual cars and parts can be found at Hershey.  If you love antique cars, Hershey is the place to be.

Free Admission to all areas of Flea Market, Car Corral, and Car Show.

During meet week, the AACA Museum will be open late until 9PM on Thursday, October 9 and Friday, October 10.   Sandwiches will be available for purchase in our lower level gallery - Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.   The GRAND OPENING of the Tucker Gallery is Wednesday, October 8th - get your ticket now!  Details on the GRAND OPENING are in the Night at the Museum section below.

RM Hershey auction - October 9 & 10


RM Auctions at Hershey Lodge

RM Auctions returns to the Hershey Lodge, October 9 - 10, for its highly anticipated eighth annual Hershey sale. A popular fixture on the global collector car calendar, the auction is a featured attraction of the AACA Eastern Division Fall meet, and is set to lift the gavel on an impressive roster of more than 160 automobiles, two boats and select memorabilia.

Once again offering a variety of outstanding Brass and Classic Era automobiles, the sale is highlighted by a 1905 FIAT 60 HP Five-Passenger Tourer by Quinby & Co.
