In case things haven’t been crazy enough around here, I decided to top the chaos off with a trip to Las Vegas. It is one of the quintessential American experiences that I was eager to check off my bucket list. It can’t be all play and no work – on...

This month, we paid a visit to the 2018 Mecum Auction in Harrisburg, PA. We usually visit just to look around (with a budder’s pass- just in case), but we surely never regret it! This year included a special treat- the prior Barris East Coast Representative’s...

Sometimes spur-of the moment plans can be the most fun! A couple weeks ago we had a fantastic evening that we weren’t expecting. We were headed to buy a car near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so we decided to check online for news of any nearby cruise-ins that day....

Hello all, You might notice that our newsletter is a little late this month (ok, technically last month!). May was quite a month at Hobby Cars! We broke ground on our newest project- a 50x200 building that we will use as additional storage for our always-growing...

HI EVERYONE! While we always have fun on the road looking for new inventory, finding quality Vettes seems to be getting more and more difficult as the years go by. It is especially hard to find low-mileage Corvettes that have not been sitting in a field or barn...

HI EVERYONE! One of the best parts about this business is that each day is unpredictable and always exciting. The morning of Winter Storm Stella earlier this month was spent plowing snow at the shops and our homes. I finished up a little after 1:00 and stopped for...
