Thanks for saving us the 21 mile walk. Just imagine the time, effort and cost of transporting and setting up all those vendor spots. Amazing! Was also noticing the age of the buyers as time and parts march on.

I am so against social media BS, however One thing that could be beneficial is for vendors to add a QR code on the corner of their booth so those that cannot be there can scan the code from the video and contact the vendor about an item they saw. Fees could apply to all of this to support the effort.The video could charge for including the QR in the video, Hersey could charge for providing the QR code to the vendors, etc. The whole point of these meets is to bring buyers and sellers together. Everyone wanys to go to Hersey bit many cannot make it for a variety of reasons. The fact that you saw that elusive ,rare one of one car part , you should in the modern day have a chance to buy it.

That is neat to see, but not a particularly attractive looking body. I wonder why it gets wider and taller at the drivers seat, then shrinks back down behind that? Is it an optical illusion from the camera? Doesn't appear to be from the remainder of the video.

I saw very few buyers. Was it really early or late? Lots of empty spaces. A lot of walking to find anything I did not see anything I would be interested in. I just go to the rusty piles of early Ford parts.

Thanks for sharing! I was not able to walk around as much this year. This video fills the void! You also caught me on the phone at about 1:35:33. Talking to the Mrs.!! That's my story.....

I noticed the rearward taper too, and like you wrote it off to 'camera angle'.
