Pictures fail to do justice to the shear size. Here is an aerial photo from 2008. The problem is that they took the photo on Saturday to show the car show field ( nearest to the camera), but MANY of the vendors had packed up and left due to the rains. The vendors extend from the road nearest to the camera on the perimeter of the Giant Center, all the way to the Hershey stadium in the middle of the shot. The Car Corral occupies the perimeter roadway around the Giant Center, and down under the underpass to the left, as well as a few hundred spaces to the right of the Giant Center.

My pictures are mostly of hood ornaments.
A few Mercedes were present. I saw a couple of SLs, late models all the way back to the Gull wing era. A 6.3 "factory hot rod", and couple of W123 and W126, gas and diesels.
I like the plaque on the Auburn that certified that the vehicle had been driven in excess of 100.1 mph before being shipped.
Every year, about midday Friday, I realize that (again) I will not see "everything". Kind of depressing, except that there is so much to see. Then its time to pack up, drive home and wait for Spring Carlisle to begin the season, again.
