For over 20 years, the BBC (Beautiful Brass Cars) Tour, most recently led by Patrick and Marcy Gamble, stood as one of the premier gatherings for enthusiasts of cars built before 1916. It was a rolling celebration of history, craftsmanship, and community. Though the original tour concluded in 2023, the memories remain fresh, and the spirit has never faded. Now, after thoughtful reflection, conversations with past participants, and input from the wider collector community, a new BBC chapter begins.
The BBC Tour, now sponsored by America’s Transportation Experience/AACA Museum, Inc., presents a Hershey-centric brass car tour from May 17-21, 2026. The Museum will serve as the hub for the 5-day tour and car show, which traverses the “sweetest place on Earth” —Hershey, PA and the surrounding area.
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 latest 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 additional fascinating historical attractions
The BBC Tour is more than a tour—it’s a celebration of heritage, friendship, and the joy of the open road. The BBC Tour is ready to make history again.
