About This Event
@
We are excited to announce plans for the Museum’s second BBC (Beautiful Brass Car) Tour. Once again, Pat & Marcy Gamble are leading participants and their pre-1916 cars on a 5-day tour of central Pennsylvania from May 16th to 20th, 2027. They will again traverse the “sweetest place on Earth” —Hershey, PA, and the surrounding area.
For over 20 years, the BBC Tour stood as one of the premier gatherings for enthusiasts of cars built before 1916—the success of the 2026 event returns the BBC to that lofty status
Information and Registration Coming Soon
In addition to its famous chocolate and the world-class Museum, Hershey is known worldwide for hosting the largest antique auto show and swap meet. Yet, many motoring enthusiasts who come each year never experience the treasures beyond the showgrounds or the Museum’s campus. This year, that changes with the BBC Tour.
The next edition of the tour promises not just a journey, but an unforgettable experience:
A warm hospitality room with drinks and snacks
A vibrant community car show
Weeklong museum admission and exclusive behind-the-scenes access
A welcome reception to connect with fellow enthusiasts
Four catered coffee stops and four delicious lunches
Private tours of three extraordinary automobile collections
An ice cream social and an inspiring evening with author Jimmy Rosen
Cruise night and the magical Gas Light Tour
A special guest appearance by American Picker Rob Wolfe
A welcome bag and visits to nine more fascinating historical attractions
The excitement is already building! This is more than a tour—it’s a celebration of heritage, friendship, and the joy of the open road.
Registration is Coming Soon
The BBC Tour is not an HCCA or AACA-sanctioned event. No memberships are required.
