Bill Hirsch passes
Bill Hirsch, founder of Hirsch Automotive passed away on October 23 at age 90. I always thought he offered great products. He will be missed.

Re: Bill Hirsch passes
I first met him in 1991 at his big white tent at Hershey in the White field. (which used to be the runway for Milton Hershey's plane). Last couple of times I was at Hershey the "white field was parking and Bill had moved to one of the other areas by the Stadium I think. As more of these old pillars of the hobby (like Dick Spadaro) pass, I fear they will not be replaced.

Re: Bill Hirsch passes
I remember his ads in Hemmings from the 80's when I was doing a 39 Buick.
Does anyone know if there is someone who will take over his business? |

Re: Bill Hirsch passes
Bill was an icon in the hobby and will be missed. Passing at 90 sounds like he had a great life.
