Hershey / LA lit comparison ????

I want to ask the people who has attended the two shows / swap meets how these compare. Which one has more attendance, more vendors, more parts ?
Do you recommend to go to Hershey ?

If the weather agrees, Hershey is 5-10 times the size of the lit show and phoenix club meets combined. But most years it rains, so it's only 3 times the size

Ha that's funny... weather is always unpredictable at Hershey.. and forecast this far out are even more laughable!

That being said, I've been there over the years and experienced rain, sunshine, snow, and hail.. sometimes all in the same day.. and... and.. Although its always a good time.

When they say the Largest All Porsche Swap in the Country.. that's exactly what it is hands down!! Parts for sale, cars for sale, and lots of cars displayed.

The literature meet on the other hand is really nice as well.. but it ain't Hershey!!
If you've never been.. then go!

Hershey buys tend to be resold…… at the Lit Show….

No comparison between the two one is in a hall, the other a parking lot…..

Green dot Bilstein jack in perfect condition for $25. Only at Hearshey.... That is what I paid last year !
Can you get that in CA?

+1 on the Hershey swap meet being bigger. Unfortunately, Hershey will never have the Friday/Saturday shop crawl that is so much a part of the LA Lit Show weekend.

Oh, I don't know. You could always drop by Dennis Frick's Europa Macchina in nearby Lewisberry...
