cars that are 100 plus years old.\u00a0 We saw at least 5 or 6 that dated back in the late 1800s.\u00a0 And they were still running!<\/p>\n<p><a

href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011725779\/show\/\">Car Corral <\/a>was our first stop on Friday morning.\u00a0 This is a show in itself.\u00a0 If you are a serious buyer you should be able to find something that fits your taste and budget\u00a0in the Car Corral.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hymanltd.com\/\">Hyman LTD <\/a>had numerous cars there for sale and one the one that really caught my attention was a 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt (pictured above)\u00a0for sale for a mere 1.3 million.\u00a0 A car that until this show I had only seen on TV shows. \u00a0\u00a0I did see one car in the corral that I wanted to drive home and it was within my budget.\u00a0 It was this little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625136442306\/show\/\">red three wheeler<\/a>.\u00a0 It looked like a Morgan but I do not think it was one.\u00a0 Pat and I would look good cruising the streets, me in the Lomax and her in this.<\/p>\n<p>After the Car Corral we spent a lot of time in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011300651\/show\/\">large flea market<\/a>.\u00a0 I believe you could buy enough parts there to build a complete car and drive it home.\u00a0 Pats favorite car of the weekend was this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625136013448\/show\/\">Fascination Car <\/a>that we saw on the grounds of the flea market.\u00a0 My favorite car\/motorcycle within the flea market was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011332265\/show\/\">this old rusted motorcycle<\/a>, a 1911 Reading Standard.\u00a0 Check out the price tag on this old rusty thing.\u00a0 Another interesting car on the flea market grounds was this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011768649\/show\/\">NanoCar<\/a> that was built by some vocational school students at Cumberland Perry Area Vocational Technical School.\u00a0 You start it with a cell phone by sending it a text message \u2013 but no texting while driving.\u00a0 It is powered by an electric engine.\u00a0 With a biodiesel generator used to charge the batteries. The body is literally a Dodge Durango that the students sliced in half and narrowed to fit their car.<\/p>\n<p>After we walked and walked the flea market it was time to go back to our motor home and unload all of the stuff we purchased and take a little break.\u00a0 Our evening out was spent at the AACA Museum looking at what else more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011041055\/show\/\">cars <\/a>and motorcycles.\u00a0 The museum has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625010563521\/show\/\">great motorcycle collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Early Saturday morning we were off to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625012237909\/show\/\">big car show<\/a>.\u00a0 And what a show it was.\u00a0 My favorites were the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625011342955\/show\/\">three wheel cars and motorcycles<\/a>.\u00a0 Yes I have a thing for three wheel vehicles whether they are a car or a motorcycle with a side car, I just like them. \u00a0We saw what is perhaps the world\u2019s smallest motorcycle with a side car, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625136954796\/show\/\">Skat Kitty<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0I could put this little thing in the trunk of my Lomax and use it instead of a spare tire.\u00a0 One that was most interesting was this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flymall\/sets\/72157625136964846\/show\/\">Trihawk by Harley Davidson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here is what I could find online about this vehicle:<\/p>\n<p><em>The Trihawk was originally envisioned by Lou Richards, and further design and development was accomplished by a core group including Bob McKee, David Stollery, Dick Kleber and Bill Mozon. The Trihawk was first manufactured in 1982 by Design Lab, Inc. at a facility in Mokena, Illinois. After completing a preproduction run of 10-12 units, manufacturing and sales were moved to a new facility in Dana Point, California under the new moniker of Hawk Vehicles, Inc. where full production began in 1983. Production ceased at the end of 1985, after company interests were purchased by Harley Davidson. Between 90 and 100 units were produced.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"122\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/flymall.org\/blog\/2010\/10\/antique-automobile-club-of-america-fall-meet\/trihawk\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg?fit=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,375\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trihawk\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg?fit=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-122\" title=\"trihawk\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/flymall.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/trihawk.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The vehicle is powered by a 4-cylinder, air cooled 1,299cc boxer engine that drives the front wheels. The engine and transmission came from the Citro\u00ebn GSA. Suspension components were utilized from the Renault R5 (Le Car) whereas Honda was the choice for the dash board instruments. Due to its extremely low centre of gravity and wide front track, the Trihawk was capable of attaining upwards of 1G force during skid pad testing, matching the Corvette and Countach of the day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy 3 wheel vehicles and want to read more about them I am starting a three wheel owners group dedicated to 3 wheelers \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/flymall.org\/magento\/index.php\/tech-tips\/three-wheel-association.html\">Three Wheel Association or TWA<\/a>.\u00a0 Please contact me for more information.<\/p>\n<p>It was a busy two days but enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pat and I attended the AACA fall meet this past weekend.\u00a0 Last year I was there as a judge and was busy working.\u00a0 This year since it was Pat\u2019s first year I decided not to judge and just enjoy the show with Pat.\u00a0 If you enjoy old, old cars Hershey PA is the place to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p95FsX-1S","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":500,"url":"https:\/\/flymall.org\/blog\/2011\/10\/aaca-meet-at-hershey-2011\/","url_meta":{"origin":116,"position":0},"title":"AACA Meet at Hershey 2011","date":"October 13, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) held their annual car show and swap meet\/flea market in Hershey, PA this past weekend.\u00a0 For those of you that have not had a chance to go to this event it is something to put on your list of things to see.\u00a0 There\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Newsletters&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":3089,"url":"https:\/\/flymall.org\/blog\/2019\/04\/flymall-wheels-wings-april-2019-newsletter\/","url_meta":{"origin":116,"position":1},"title":"Flymall Wheels &#038; Wings April 2019 Newsletter","date":"April 27, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Kraemer Aviation Services: Your one stop website for everything Wheels & Wings.
