It really doesn’t make a difference if there was coffee and cars combined today. I don’t take part in those, “gatherings.” I’m jamming out to some Thursday and Witness Marker enjoying the editing process and my afternoon / evening.
However, I had my dose of caffeine this morning alongside some leftover shrimp and a bottle of my Gingerbread Oats Overnight. Full disclosure- I rag on Sheetz (SUCKS) all the time for their watered down nonsense they call coffee. They’ve been watering it down for 12-14 years now and it’s obnoxious. But as I was browsing for some tater chips of my one persuasion one fine evening, I found this winter blend (weird the URL says pumpkin…but let’s move on) and pulled the ol’ trigger. It’s actually really good, believe it or not. Even though it is finely ground it has worked well with my French press. Very flavorful and I generally am not a “flavor” coffee fan. Try it. Or not. Your choice.
Man, what a start to this post. What I really meant to say is that I visited Hershey Pennsylvania’s finetastic, yes, FINETASTIC, Antique Auto Museum. Or as they call it, WORLD CLASS. It really is, though. It is well sponsored and funded and at only $16.00 to visit (if you’re under 61 years of age - Fourteen and just two quarters if you’re a geezer) it is full of automotive history from motorcycles, to police cars, to muscle cars to even busses that were used in the film, “Forrest Gump.” There are nostalgic cars for just about every age group going back to the early 1900’s to Tucker’s from the late 40s to again muscle cars and all of that good stuff!
This was my second visit to the museum and it was not as great as the first. I felt like the first visit had more busses and better displays downstairs. However, the vintage Shelby Mustangs (one of my favorite cars) were well lit and on display and I have to say, that made my day! The model train set was also still on display with buttons you can press to make it make sounds and light up.
I brought my Fujifilm GFX 50S II along with me today equipped with a 32-64mm and 100-200mm lens. Below are the images I captured. I went for close ups today as it’s a museum and featuring the whole car is not always possible. The place truly presents awesome opportunities, though! Whether a photographer or just a car enthusiast I highly recommend visiting this spot if you are local or in town. It will not disappoint! I promise!
P.S. Added a couple of these images to my “Transportation” section. Check out the portfolio!
