It was an ordinary day. Sunday, September 15 and the weather was sunny and warm. Just the right mixture to visit one of Lancaster's many car shows that grace the Lancaster area throughout the year. This particular car show was located at Amos Herr Park at nearby 169 Park Road in Landisville, PA. The park is located on the Harrisburg Pike on East Main Street right off of Nissley Road. I have made many visits to the park when my children were involved in sports and when I coached Little League Baseball many years ago in the park. The weather was beautiful and the cars involved in the event were just as beautiful. There must have been at least 100 cars on display in different categories throughout the park. Parking didn't seem to be a problem, but my youngest son, Tad and I did get there shortly after the cars had taken their positions in the park. We could have spent hours and hours wandering throughout the park, viewing all the cars, but my legs and back limited us to about two hours of walking and viewing. How anyone can judge the different categories is beyond me, since just about every car was remarkable and in fantastic shape. Tad and I each had a few favorites, but we don't think it is fair to mention which ones we enjoyed the most. I have included photographs of some of our favorites, but would never be able to publish photos of all the favorites due to space and time. I did try to post photos of cars in the different categories. So....check out my photographs and see if you can find a few favorites. Perhaps you will find one you like. PS - we didn't stay to the end of the show so I can't give you a listing of whom might have won the different categories. But then again.....does it really matter, being that all the cars were winners. The photographs at the start of the photos are on a car marked as "Hand Built." The car could have been from a variety since in matches several other styles. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
