I read with some interest the other day an account of this year’s gathering of the faithful at Hershey. For those not familiar, Hershey is probably one of the—if not the—largest classic car gatherings in the United States. What caught my attention in this account, however, was the fact that automobilia sales were reported to be so depressed this year that many vendors actually left the event early. What was the reported cause of this unusual downturn you ask? Bad weather? Locust swarms? Amish unrest? No, apparently the Internet is to blame.
