The short version
RM Sotheby’s The Hershey Auction returns October 7–8, 2026 to The Hershey Lodge (325 University Drive) as the official auction of the AACA Eastern Division National Fall Meet. The sale is known for veteran, Brass Era, and early American automobiles plus curated automobilia — a specialist market rather than a modern hypercar circus. Bidder registration and preview rules publish on rmsothebys.com.
Background
Hershey remains a cornerstone weekend for pre-war collecting: AACA flea-market energy outside, focused auction rooms inside. Canadian collectors often treat it as a Mid-Atlantic fly-in; RM’s Blenheim, Ontario client desk is a reminder that the house’s North American network runs through Canada even when the sale sits in Pennsylvania.

Planning tips
- Preview admission and bidder numbers are separate from AACA meet credentials — buy RM’s products directly.
- Lodging near Hershey Lodge and the AACA fields books early; treat October as a full Mid-Atlantic collector weekend, not a two-hour drive-by.
- Catalog estimates for Brass Era cars reward specialist research — bring a trusted mechanic or historian if you are new to the segment.
- Philadelphia Auto Show season is a different product and calendar; do not confuse consumer-show parking with Hershey Lodge auction logistics.
