Look who we ran into at Hershey!
Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars stopped by the AACA Eastern Fall Nationals with Phil Potocki, president of Car Capsule — and Wayne shared a Hershey memory that goes all the way back to 1957. At just six years old, his dad hung a sandwich-board sign listing the parts they needed, wrote their space number on his hand, handed him a crayon and said, "Don`t be late for lunch!"
A lifetime AACA member, Wayne summed Hershey up perfectly: "Back in the day, this was eBay." It`s a place with heart and soul, where you run into friends you`ve known for 20 or 30 years and can find parts for even the rarest automobile.
Wayne and Phil also showed off Car Capsule`s clever storage and preservation systems — right down to a portable spray booth — all designed to protect and present your vehicle in showroom condition.

An investment in tools is an investment in your future. 🧰
The Bennett Automotive Foundation was started in honor of Bennett Fletcher Roaf, who passed away in 2013 at just 18 months old and loved everything with wheels. Funded largely by their yearly Benny 500 tour, the foundation gives back to the car community that Benny loved.
This year, they`re partnering with AACA on a new scholarship: Benny`s Boxes. Each one is a fully funded toolbox, filled with everything a young technician needs to start a career in automotive restoration, helping the next generation get past one of the biggest financial hurdles of starting out in the trades.
To apply, write an essay on why you chose a career in the automotive trades, how you`ve shown dedication to your training, and what impact receiving a Benny`s Box would have on your future.
📅 Apply by December 1
