JOHN C. WHITEHEAD, The Patriot-NewsFormer NFL head football coach, Dick Vermeil gives a spectator a ride in his vintage race car during the Grand Ascent during The Elegance At Hershey charity event Saturday.
“I bought this car in pieces from a basement,” the Dickinson College graduate said of the 1951 Allard J2. He spent about $20,000 on parts to restore the classy little car from the ground up, something common in the rarefied world of working antique racing cars.
Thirty-one such cars competed in the nearly mile-long ascent race highlighting the first day of The Elegance At Hershey. The two-day car-lovers event on the grounds of Hotel Hershey raises money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Antique Automobile Club of America Museum in Hershey, officials said.
