I went to Model A Day at Gilmore and had a great time. There were 4 excellent AA's in the museum, a school bus, firetruck, platform dump bed and service car. I didn't get a picture of the school bus.

In addition, I took photos of several of the AA's that had driven in.

Bob M, was that your express bed? It looked great!

There was a popcorn wagon that was on AA frame also.
My favorite was the survivor service truck - very cool.

Yes, forgot about the popcorn truck. That was nicely done. There was a stake bed over in the areas with the cars that was pretty nice too.

I recently went to the huge swap meet in Hershey, PA. I met a guy that was involved with the Gilmore that convinced me that it was worth visiting. After reading this post combined with the photographs, I definitely want to go.
