Mike,
Like me!
I want to get in Tobyhanna Depot, (I'm live in Switzerland!) for the
Annual Convention.
Infortunately, as you relate, it's open only one day for no MVPA
members.
I have a GPW #6629, Dodge WC 63 4/1/43, and hope can purchase a 1/2 ton
Ford in a few weeks...
Also, can't coming in PA this year, for purchase parts or vehicles, for
ex...for only one day.
Maybe get a change of phylosophy, next time!
Regards from Switzerland.
Andr=E9 (a MVPA futur member!)
