Hershey, PA (June 6, 2013). A group of automotive enthusiasts are in the process of an epic 11,000+ mile trek from Buenos Aires to New York City and will be stopping at the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum in the "victory lap" before their final destination of Times Square in New York on June 11th.

This group of 5 team members expects to arrive at the AACA Museum on Monday, June 10th sometime between the hours of 1-4 PM. The team is driving a series of 3 Austin Seven vehicles - a 1929, a 1932 and 1933 vehicle. While these vehicles are more commonplace in the United Kingdom where they originated they are rather rare to see in Central Pennsylvania. The Austin Seven does have a local connection, however, as approximately 20,000 American Austins were made in Butler, PA form 1930 to 1934.
