Harry F. Long: Folk Artist Of Reinholds

By Karl Pass

Folk artist Harry F. Long was born April 13, 1895, and died Jan. 27, 1970. The son of Jacob and Amanda Long, he lived in the West Cocalico Township, northern Lancaster County village of Reinholds, Pa. Harry served in WWI and was later employed at Eberly’s Hardware Store at the corner of Mechanic Street and Main Street (Route 897). Long was a self-taught painter and woodworker. His nickname was “Shorty.”

Antiques dealer Mary Snyder also had her first antiques shop in the Eberly’s Hardware Store building, prior to moving her shop down East Main Street toward Trinity Chapel (Reinholds Station Trinity Chapel). Harry lived next to the chapel.

Harry’s younger brother (by one year), John F. Long (1894-1984), was a carpenter and house painter by profession but also a self-taught

artist. John was a profilic painter and worked on reverse glass. Harry did not, primarily working in oil-onboard and also gouache-on-paper.

Also, Harry was not an active painter, unlike his brother, who outlived him by 14 years. His output likely numbered under 100 paintings. By comparison, John produced nearly 1,000 paintings on reverse glass during

his lifetime. Harry was just as known for his woodworking as he was in town for his paintings. He constructed and paint-decorated children’s chairs and toy boxes. Harry also did cane seating repair, according to relative Dennis Stephen.

It is not known if Snyder or neighbor, artist, and antiques dealer Hattie Klapp Brunner sold Harry’s work in their shops, but Brunner did market and sell John Long reverse paintings on glass. It is known, however, that New York City antiques dealer John Gordon bought Harry’s paintings directly from him in the 1960s. Gordon was also a customer of both Brunner and Snyder. Gordon had a large sale in 1999 through Christie’s. A number of Harry Long paintings (typically signed “H.F. Long”) were in the auction, and several were passed, failing to sell. One lot, a farm scene together with a scene of the Saal buildings at the Ephrata Cloister in winter sold together for $2,990. A country landscape sold at a Slotin Auction in 2015 for $300. It was ex.

enclosed, four separate metal rods were lowered through holes in the apparatus, further locking them together. After being only briefly concealed, Houdini “dematerialized” from the device, which when examined by a committee from the audience, was shown to still be solidly fastened together.

Houdini’s Straitjacket escape made $43,200. This heavy canvas jacket was reinforced with leather across the neck, back, arms, and waist. This remarkable piece of magicana history was accompanied by numerous documents, newspaper articles, and photographs tracing the ownership of the jacket from Houdini to his brother Hardeen, and then to Hardeen’s assistant, magician Armand Landry. Harry and Beatrice Houdini’s personal mirror realized $10,200. This

magicians were also well represented in this sale. “Harry Houdini. King of Cards” soared to $21,600. It was printed in Chicago ca. 1898. This half-sheet, linen-backed color poster was used by Houdini as a young performer and featured his bust portrait at the center and vignettes depicting his facility with a deck of cards above and below. This is one of the first posters produced to advertise the magician just before he attained fame.

“The World Famous Houdini / Master Mystifier” sold for $11,400. This ca. 1925 three-color card was made to advertise a Chicago venue of Houdini’s final U.S. tour. It was only one of two examples known for this appearance and was found in the rafters of a Chicago bungalow. It would become the subject of a segment on the PBS TV

number of images of Houdini over the course of his life. A tintype portrait of Houdini as a young man delivered $21,600. This ca. 1891 image was likely taken at Coney Island. He was seated on a bench and wearing a boater, bow tie, and evening clothes. The picture is perhaps the only example extant and is amongst the earliest portraits of Houdini the auction house had ever offered. A transatlantic photo album sold for $14,400. This oblong album held six total 4by-5-inch mounted silver gelatin print photos of Houdini and his wife aboard the S.S. Imperator on their trip to Europe from America on Aug. 30, 1913. A photo of Houdini and the Iron Maiden traded hands at $3,600. This sepia tone image was taken in Glasgow in 1909. It depicted the full stage of the Coliseum, where on Oct. 22, 1909, Houdini successfully escaped from a massive Iron Maiden torture device, suspended at center stage

Collector Chats With Peter S. Seibert

This Week: An Old Auction Catalog, Part Two

By Peter Seibert

In my last column, I wrote about discovering a copy of the auction catalog for Rich and Joan Smith’s collection that was sold by Christie’s back in the 1990s. I had noted how the collection held some amazing rarities that set new highs in the auction market. Certainly, the furniture and pottery received special attention, and both were

areas of interest to the Smiths. One area of their collection that did not do so great was the textiles. Rich and Joan loved beautiful Pennsylvania German textiles in great condition. I share that same passion and acknowledge the challenges of collecting that way, particularly since excellence in condition is truly rare. A large number of the textile items in the sale were decorated Pennsylvania German hand towels (Handtuch), sometimes called show towels. These were, to generalize, an elongated strip of fine linen that could be embroidered with cotton or silk or wool. Often they had beautiful lace-like work that was accomplished by cutting and tying threads to create elaborate openwork patterns.

I love decorated hand towels, and we had done an exhibit of them at the museum in Lancaster (the former Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum). The prices seemed to be increasing, and so I remember sitting at the Smith sale and being amazed at how soft the prices were. In my naiveté, I thought the most elaborate and best condition towels should bring the same price as a similar quality sampler. What I did not understand was that most people could find wall space for an 18-by-24 inch sampler but not for an 18-by-40 inch long towel. And to make matters worse, some of the best decoration on the towels were done at the bottom of the fabric, making viewing them nearly impossible. So the prices on

the towels were a few hundred to perhaps $1,500 and reflected the reality of how a collection could be exhibited. Some things just have limited display opportunities. Similarly, the quilts did pretty well in price, but the woven coverlets, usually earlier in date, brought pennies on the dollar. Coverlets have never generated the same excitement that quilts did. The auction had high and low spots for sure. The Schimmel tiger was an amazing object, although my copy of the catalog (not owned by me originally) was annotated with comments about the condition and repairs to the carving. The wrought-iron hinges, on the other hand, unless really spectacular, did not do so well. In looking at the iron, it was clear that the

Smiths brought a modernist’s eye to their collection. The simple sweep of a ram’s horn hinge clearly appealed to them based upon the incredible number in the sale. And yet most brought very little money.

Old auction catalogs are filled with hopes and dreams. They represent the market at a given place and time. Occasionally, that time is one where the market is very strong and the prices set world records. Other times, it represents value for the smart buyer who is able to acquire items below market value. So the next time you are out and spot an old catalog with prices realized inside, buy it and take it home to relax and refresh your memory about how things used to be.

“Born to collect” should be the motto of Peter Seibert’s family. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, Seibert has been collecting and writing about antiques for more than three decades. By day, he is a museum director and has worked in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Virginia and New Mexico. In addition, he advises and consults with auction houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly about American furniture and decorative arts. Seibert’s writings include books on photography, American fraternal societies and paintings. He and his family are restoring a 1905 arts and crafts house filled with years’ worth of antique treasures found in shops, co-ops and at auctions.

From Stagecoaches To Monorails! Artifacts From Disneyland History Bring In $1.8 Million Sale Also Featured Largest Collection Of Disney Store Display Figures Ever Brought To The Block

On March 25, a lucky bidder rode off into the sunset with a one-of-a-kind original stagecoach offered by Heritage during its two-day Disney Theme Parks auction.

“The Art of Disneyland: From Stagecoaches to Monorails…and More!” spanned the parks’ fascinating evolution and brought in $1.8 million, with 100 percent of lots sold and some significant results for rarities from Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Stores and more.

This Heritage Disney event, the first of 2023, follows last year’s record-breaking $2.2 million “Art of Disneyland” auction, and it just happened to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company and the 50th anniversary celebration for Walt Disney World.

“This event showcased every aspect of the parks,” says Jim Lentz, Heritage’s

director of Animation Art.

“More than 850 lots spread over two full days offered collectors precious slices of Main Street, Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and more.”

The most unusual lot yielded the top result at $84,000; it reached back into Disney Parks history with something that kicked off Disneyland itself: the original full-size, nine-passenger Overland Stagecoach that evokes the “Rainbow Mountain Stagecoach” ride from Disneyland’s earliest years. This real stagecoach (its last run was from Tombstone, Ariz., to Sacramento, Calif.) belonged to a friend of Walt’s, fellow Anaheim businessman Ben Hathaway, who owned Tiffy’s restaurant originally located in the Disneyland Hotel. Very few authentic frontier stagecoaches still exist, making this a rare piece of

Americana as well as the inspiration behind the iconic Disneyland attraction of the 1950s; the “Stagecoach” ride defined Disneyland’s opening years and preceded the famed Monorail. “This authentic frontier stage harkens to Disneyland’s early portrayal of America’s past and the ultimate transition towards a vision for the future,” said Lentz. “The winning bidder of this remarkable piece of American history instantly attained exclusive bragging rights.”

Another top lot on the move: An astonishing Autopia Mark VII car from Disneyland, professionally restored to drivable condition, sold for $48,000. Autopia’s vehicles were designed by Bob Gurr, who fashioned this car with a front inspired by the Corvette Stingray and the back inspired by an Opal GT. Another Autopia car in this event, a Mark VI park-used vehicle body, went for $26,400.

Also from Disneyland, the Skyway ferried guests over Disneyland for some excellent views, and Heritage sold an exceptionally rare original Skyway gondola from the era of Tomorrowland, with its iconic rounded design, for $48,000.

From Disney World and its famed Monorail, an original Mark IV Monorail cabin sold

for $36,000. This particular cabin hummed into service at the park in 1984; its doors still open and close. Also from Disney World, this park-used vehicle from Snow White’s “Scary Adventures” (it’s Dopey’s car!) sold for $33,600; the ride took guests through

the dwarves’ diamond mine and cottage, crashed through the castle’s walls, and made an escape through the forest.

An impressive published original painting by Disney legend Charles Boyer titled “The Disney Evening Post,” a parody of a 1956 issue of

“Saturday Evening Post,” sold for $45,600, and a nostalgiasoaked Disneyland Main Street bench sold for $18,600.

In 1987, the first Disney Store opened in Glendale, Calif., and by 1997 more than 700 Disney stores had opened globally. “The thought was to bring a bit of the Disney Theme Park experience to your local shopping mall,” remarked Lentz. “The rafters, walls, and entrance displays were decorated with large fiberglass statues created by Disney artists for the stores.” The statues were so popular people constantly asked to buy them, which led to the creation of “Disney Big Figs” as collectible large-format versions of your favorite Disney characters. Big Figs’ popularity exploded and were available at Disney Parks, Stores, via mail order and eventually Disney online auctions. This Heritage auction offered the

An original Skyway gondola from the era of Tomorrowland, with its iconic rounded design, was park-used at Disneyland ca. 1965-94, and sold for $48,000. Continued on page 6

“The Stars” By Alphonse Mucha Brings $114,000

Original High-End Poster Market Soars

Poster Auctions

International’s (PAI) first sale of the year, on March 26, finished at $1,841,160. The sale evidenced the continued passion for collecting vintage posters, especially rare and seldom seen lithographs.

“We are once again humbled by the enthusiasm displayed by our clients at auction. Despite the recent banking insecurity felt around the world, poster lovers were eager to bid on their favorite lots and grow their collections,” stated Jack Rennert, president of PAI.

Alphonse Mucha was a major draw for collectors. His 1902 “The Stars” decorative panels were the top lot of the sale, with a winning bid of $114,000 (est. $70,000$90,000). Several works by the Belle Époque master hit new record numbers, including his 1896 “Zodiac,” which achieved

$28,800 (est. $17,000-$20,000); the 1897 “La Trappistine,” $31,200 (est. $20,000-$25,000); the 1896 “Lorenzaccio,”

$19,200 (est. $12,000-$15,000); his 1908 “Leslie Carter,” $20,400 (est. $8,000-$10,000); and his 1912 “Sixth Sokol Festival” received a top bid of $72,000 (est. $25,000-$30,000). Two original works were highly sought after: his 1900 “Printemps: Pocket Watch” design well surpassed its estimate of $30,000-$40,000 for a win of $78,000, and an original drawing of his friend Paul Gauguin was secured for

$31,200 (est. $15,000-$20,000). All prices quoted include the buyer’s premium.

Bids were similarly enthused for works by Leonetto Cappiello, the father of modern advertising. Further auction records were broken with his 1902 “Pur Champagne / DameryEpernay,” which was won for $5,760 (est. $3,000-$4,000); the 1903 “Absinthe Gempp Pernod” was secured for

$26,400 (est. $14,000$17,000); and the ebullient 1920 “Mistinguett / Casino de Paris” realized $20,400 (est. $17,000-$20,000). Two impressive six-sheet billboards also captivated collectors: his 1923 “Royat” sold for $12,000 (est. $10,000$12,000), and his 1924 “Alcool de Menthe Ricqlès” went for $15,600 (est. $12,000$15,000).

Fans of Art Deco had plenty of top posters to bid on. Geo Ham’s “Monaco Grand Prix” 1933 was sold for $20,400 (est. $17,000$20,000), and his “Monaco / 22 Avril” 1935 was won for $19,200 (est. $17,000$20,000). Paul Colin’s esteemed 1929 portfolio, “Le Tumulte Noir,” was swept up

for $36,000. From Charles Loupot, a 1929 maquette for “Café Precia” wowed bidders, selling for $18,000 (est. $8,000-$10,000).

One War and Propaganda image stood out from the rest at this sale: the anonymous 1917 “Vote for Woman Suffrage” incited passionate bidding, leading to a $7,200 sale (est. $2,000-$2,500). Another design to receive unexpected adoration was Hipolito Hidalgo de Caviedes’ 1925 “San Sebastian,” which swiftly surpassed its estimate of $1,700-$2,000 for a total of $5,280.

A Houdini final tour souvenir program sold for $2,880. It was printed in New York in 1925 and was illustrated with photos and line drawings. Its pictorial wrappers featured a striking photo of the performer. An important signed letter from fellow magician Kellar to Houdini delivered $11,400. It was dated Oct. 15, 1917, and written in anticipation of Kellar’s appearance in New York at what would be his final appearance on stage. It noted, “…It would be impossible for me to do anything excepting the rope tie as my hand is still too stiff for work. I might do the

Davenport Cabinet for your sake only; for no one else could hire me to again appear in public. I am too old and too long off the

stage to my best work.…”

Books and other important Houdiniana brought this thrilling sale full circle.

“A Magician Among the Spirits” turned the page at $18,000. This first edition was published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1924. This copy was inscribed, signed, and initialed by Houdini to fellow

magician Howard Thurston: “To / Howard Thurston / Best wishes / Houdini / June 20/1924” and further inscribed: “The result of 30 years research is embraced twixt the covers of this book which I believe will be my monument! H.” The book was also signed by Houdini on the dedication page.

“This was among the

strongest offerings of Houdini we have brought to market, and an exciting auction. We’re already planning the next sale,” said Gabe Fajuri, president at Potter & Potter Auctions.

A transatlantic photo album went for $14,400. The oblong album held six total mounted silver gelatin print photos of Houdini and his wife aboard the S.S. Imperator on their trip to Europe from America in 1913.

This photo of Houdini and the Iron Maiden brought $3,600. The sepia tone image was taken in Glasgow in 1909. It depicted the full stage of the Coliseum, where on Oct. 22, 1909, Houdini successfully escaped from a massive Iron Maiden torture device, suspended at center stage from a stout wooden scaffold.

Harry and Beatrice Houdini’s personal mirror realized $10,200.

Carlisle GM Nationals To Speed Into Summer

Popular Event Will Take Over Fairgrounds June 23 And 24

Guests of the annual Carlisle GM Nationals automotive event know that the National Parts Depot Showfield is populated with amazing show cars spanning decades of production. For the 2023 event, Friday and Saturday, June 23 and 24, at the Carlisle Fairgrounds, several announced displays turn back the clock to a time when the competition was fierce

region but virtually all along the eastern seaboard and as far west as Texas, informally, and with few exceptions, referred to it simply as the Fishersville Show.

When Lesley Stokes became co-owner of the show, she spearheaded the use of social media in the marketing of the show. She understood that often “less is best” for internet and social media searches. So, she suggested capitalizing on a shorter, simpler and familiar name, and the Fishersville Antiques Expo was born.

While the evolution of the show’s name is interesting, more important is what

among automakers. This summer, the GM Nationals not only honors 40 years of the Pontiac Fiero, but 50 years of the Buick Regal, 120-plus years of Buick, the Malaise Era, and 4th Generation Camaros and Firebirds as well.

Building T will be ground zero for these two displays and should include at least a half dozen, if not more, of each vehicle. For the Fiero,

exists between the lines, the evolution of the show itself and the upcoming 70th edition of this show on Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20. The promoters are dialed in to the changes in the trade, and unless a promoter is able to adapt, it is that much more of a challenge to run a worthwhile show. The Fishersville family encompasses the promoters, dealers and customers alike; mutual respect and willingness to share their knowledge is an integral aspect of the show’s sustainability.

Considering how fickle the antiques business is and how fast it changes, trying to determine what’s in and what’s not is no easy task for

guests can enjoy a timeline of sorts showcasing some of the best Fieros dating back to its launch for the 1984 model year. Designed by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti, over 370,000 Fieros were produced over their five-year run. In addition to the cars, the Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association hosts a variety of events, including club activities, technical how-to

They target recruiting toward current and emerging trends along with the classics, 18th- and 19th-century American and English period antiques plus vintage Americana, jewelry, silver, glassware, primitives, rugs and mid-century modern pieces. The results are reflected in every show: quality vendors with merchandise that matches the interests and tastes of a wide base of customers. A recent trend at Fishersville has been an uptick of higherend dealers who have had successful shows over the past year. But every show has

The alphabet soup of Regal bodies will all be honored, including those viewed as luxury vehicles as well as those with a nod to performance.

something for everyone. All showgoers enjoy the hunt. Some are merely looking for a new-to-them piece to redecorate a room. And for the lovers of the outdoors, it’s a chance to spend a day in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

The 70th Fishersville Antiques Expo will be held at the Augusta Expo Event Center, 277 Expo Road, Fishersville, Va., on Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20. The hours on day one will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and day two from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $10 per person on the first day (early shopping and two-day pass) and $5 per person on second day.

Tickets are sold at the gate, rain or shine.

One of the first stuffed animals many children receive as a baby is the famous teddy bear. They are fuzzy, they are cuddly, they are soft, cute, and huggable. Sometimes they are given a name, and sometimes children have a tea party with them. At an early age, a bear becomes a friend. As children get older, they often start a collection of them; after all, more than two items in the same category is considered a collection.

How did teddy bears become so popular? Among the reasons started when President Theodore Roosevelt was on a bear hunting trip near Onwand, Miss., on Nov. 14, 1902. Mississippi’s governor had invited him, but unlike other hunters in the group, the president had not located a single bear. One of Roosevelt’s assistants cornered and tied a black bear to a willow tree. They summoned Roosevelt and suggested that he shoot the bear. Viewing this as extremely unsportsmanlike, Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear.

Clifford Berryman, a political cartoonist decided to lightheartedly satirize the president’s refusal to shoot the bear. On Nov. 16, 1902, Morris Michtorm, a Brooklyn, N.Y., candy shop owner, saw the cartoon and had an idea. He and his wife, Rose, also made stuffed animals, and Michtorm decided to create a stuffed toy bear and dedicate it to the president. He called it, “Teddy’s Bear,” as the story is told.

Michtorm mass-produced the toy bears, which were so popular he soon founded the Ideal Toy Company. Today, the teddy bear has worldwide popularity. In honor of “Teddy’s Bears,” the Historic

Top O’ The Morning: Breakfast Is Served!

Smack Dab In The Middle: Design Trends Of The Mid-20th Century

By Donald-Brian Johnson

“Breakfast?” We really should be calling it “dinner.” The Latin word disjejunare, the precursor of “dinner,” translates as “break the fast.”

It wasn’t until the Middle Ages that the abridged version, “breakfast,” came to denote the first meal of the day.

No matter the name, the tradition of early morning sustenance has been with us

since prehistoric times. Examination of “Otzi the Iceman,” the oldest known naturally preserved mummy, indicates his last meal was likely wheat pancakes. Bedouins enjoyed locusts mixed with butter, slathered on unleavened bread. And, before heading off to work on the pyramids, ancient Egyptians fortified themselves with hearty helpings of soup, bread, onions, beer, and

Time to break that fast! A tantalizing morning layout, as envisioned by the Chase Brass & Copper Co. in an ad from the early 1930s (The dishes, of course, are all by Chase).

This is a morning eye-opener, courtesy of Maxwell House from a Good Housekeeping ad, August, 1953.

cereal.” That’s right: popcorn swimming in milk, with just a bit of sweetener.

Speaking of cereal, that ubiquitous component of the modern breakfast debuted in the late 1800s. Making mornings “K-E-Double-L-O-DoubleGood-Good” were brothers Dr. John and Will Kellogg, whose initial effort, Corn Flakes, hit shelves in the 1890s. Dr. Kellogg, who ran a health sanitarium, promoted cold cereal as an aid to digestion. A patient, C.W. Post, evidently concurred: soon “Post Toasties” were giving “Kellogg’s Corn Flakes” a run for their money. With the addition of sugar, the formerly bland cereals became indescribably yummy. And when General Foods, promoting “Grape Nuts,” dubbed breakfast “the most important meal of the day,” consumers wholeheartedly agreed.

Houseware designers took note: important meals demanded important attention. By the mid-20th century, nearly every firm, from the California Cleminsons to Van Briggle Pottery, was dishing up at least a few kitchen items. There were whimsical coffee services, teapots, and mugs, salt and peppers, pitchers, colorful condiment servers,

and children’s dishes, plus such time-savers as the “tandem toaster” and the “buffet warming oven.” With a wealth of stylish breakfast accessory options popping up like English muffins, getting the day off to a good start was never easier.

Heading up the breakfast brigade was the Chase Brass & Copper Co., which almost single-handedly created a booming 1930s mini-industry in gleaming kitchenware. “We’re cooking at the table now!” was the Chase battle cry. For those homemakers unsure of just what that entailed, a handy guide was thoughtfully provided:

“Seven thirty or eight in the morning, in the average American household: Mother prepares the meals, alone. Daddy must catch his train, the children must fly off to school. Life is hectic; the kitchen is a three-ring circus. Instead of this pandemonium, imagine mother taking her place at the table, where the “Comet Coffee Maker” begins its cheerful song. Beside her plate is the “Table Chef,” in which scrambled, boiled or poached eggs, bacon and fried eggs, sausages or pancakes may be cooked. How much nicer it is, not only for mother, but for daddy and the children, who like to see mother in her fresh morning dress at the table,

Of course they do. After all, it’s the most important meal of the day. But is it “breakfast”

or is it “dinner?” Either way, it’s a great excuse for wolfing down leftover pizza.

A whimsical container for coffee beans by the California Cleminsons is modeled after an old-time coffee grinder, est. $25-$30.

“The toast of the trade!” read an early 1940s ad for the “Tandem Automatic Pop-Up Toaster” by Samson, which was Harry Laylon’s innovative design, guaranteed that “both sides of each slice are toasted alike.”

A fruitful trio is pictured here, three fruit-shaped juice pitchers, est. $35-$50 each.

Cold cereals = healthy breakfasts = a patriotic duty!, according to a World War II ad for “Shredded Ralston.”

We call it the kitchen. In their 1959 brochure, “The Total Electric Home,” Westinghouse dubbed it the “Food Preparation Center.” Either way, the kids seem to like their “piping hot breakfast, turned out with amazing speed.”

GM Nationals. Much like the Fiero, there will be additional activities, the scope of which will be announced closer to the event. In addition to the Regal, the GM Nationals will honor the 120-plus year history of Buick. Cars will be positioned within Building T and will aim to include Buicks from different eras of production.

Additional featured displays include one focused on 4th Generation Camaros and Firebirds, a 3rd Generation Camaro and Firebirds “show within the show” called the “3rd Gen Nationals,” and an all-new malaise era display.

The “malaise era” refers to the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s and included some of GM’s

often forgotten vehicles. This year at the GM Nationals, expect a cool display tent on the NPD Showfield that encompasses a lot of vehicles from the era, specifically the odd and off-the-wall stuff, stuff many car lovers have forgotten about. Each entry is a featured display and, as such, will be vetted by an application process and event manager. The portal for applying is open and available by way of www.CarlisleEvents.com and will be accepting submissions leading up to the show.

Finally, Fiero, Regal, Buick, and 4th Generation stardom isn’t limited to just Building T. Registration for the showfield is open and will no doubt welcome even more of these historic masterpieces. Apply

today for consideration, and, if accepted, owners not only get to be front and center at the event but promoted via social media and within the event guide. Don’t have something that fits the bill for these displays but own a car or truck that’s show-worthy? Register
