A “THANK YOU” to all who attended the show this year, and we hope to see you again in 2017.  Many thanks also to all the volunteers who gave their time staffing the entry gates, the Museum tent, parking cars, registering participants, acting as tour guides at the Museum, setting up the Park, and performing the many other tasks that need to be completed in order for Duryea Day to run smoothly.  As always, we could not have this show without all the help from our friends in the Pottstown Region AACA.

The Museum's 50th Annual Duryea Day Antique & Classic Car & Truck Show and Flea Market was held on September 5 in Boyertown Community Park, and what a record-setter it was! We're thrilled to say that 711 vehicles registered for the show, which beats the previous year's record of 683 vehicles! A highlight of the show were all the Pennsylvania-built vehicles that attended, which included some Boyertown-bodied delivery trucks, a Spangler fire engine built in Hamburg, PA, several Macks, and the last known remaining Dile automobiles.  The Museum's 1914 Dile Roadster joined the other two Diles, a 1915 and a 1916, for the display at Boyertown Community Park.  It is believed these are the only three examples of the Reading company to survive.  We were also joined by the great-granddaughter of Irvin Lengel, co-founder of the Dile Motor Car Company, who brought family history and photographs along with her to share with visitors.

Many thanks go out to all the volunteers who gave their time staffing the entry gates, the Museum tent, parking cars, registering participants, acting as tour guides at the Museum, and the many other tasks that needed to be completed the day of the show. A special thank, too, to all the volunteers who helped set up the park the day before.
