. . . and visit the 7 or so dealers that are still allowed to set up? I've got some Holiday gifts to attempt to purchase, so I'll be making the trek tomorrow. I'm completely prepared to be disappointed.

Hey you! Stop that!
Parking, access and the entire logistical experience were horrible! Talked to a few dealers and they were split evenly on whether it was going to be worthwhile to continue.
Personally, I told my wife when I got home, that if I mention that I plan to go to the Philly Show again in the next 3 years, she has my permission to knock me senseless with a baseball bat.
All in all, I spent $8.00 on admission, my time and gas and walked out with nothing other than a sour taste in my mouth and the opportunity to talk to a few friends that I don't see very often.
To put it bluntly, Hunt has turned what used to be the greatest local show in the country into a friggin' disaster. They should be proud of themselves (granted, it was losing steam before they bought it).

<< <i>The show is a disaster... A few old timers with the same memorabilia they had back in the Motor Lodge days. Otherwise, it was a few of the same folks from the regular circuit and a few weekend warriors with their shiny chrome inserts. The show had little to no foot traffic as most were there for the autographs.

Went to Sept and Dec shows.. At least this time, you could park close to the entrance...
I think I might try the Oaks show next, I don't think I will goto Philly next year.... I agree, saw more shiny stuff this show then the last. Have you tried the Oaks show yet?
