Anyone have an idea of how many foreigners come to Hershey from overseas and what cars and parts they are looking for?

I would guesstimate the amount at 15% of Hershey attendance.

obviously many like A's, but European models also and American cars that are iconic.

big finned caddies, 57 chevys, etc.

yes, I think it is still a big draw to our European friends, and others. Over the years we have had lunch with people from Germany, England, France and New Zealand and of course many other parts of the U.S. Then there have been times where you happen to sit down and get talking and find a hobbyist who you have never met and lives 15 minutes from home - Wright's (I believe) pavilions in the center of the Chocolate field - always part of the fun!

If you check in at the stands that hand out apples and cider they usually have a sign stating what countries had visited.
