Treasured Motorcars Services, Open House, New Freedom, PA - (October 4, 2025)
Saturday, October 4, 2025:
Treasured Motorcar Services in New Freedom, Pennsylvania was hosting Open House today, which they do twice a year, Spring and Fall. We were "in the neighborhood", less than an hour away, so we wandered over there check it out. We had been here before, three years ago on a Wednesday, October 5, 2022. At that time they were attending a car show in Hershey, PA, so we sort of struck out. Way different this time. We arrived shortly after 9-m to find a parking lot already half full of visitor's classic cars, and they kept rolling in. I think they lucked out with the lot about 95% stuffed by 10-am, and didn't have to hunt for alternative space My quick estimate said maybe 60-80 cars outside, looking a lot like a car show with no ID cards on the cars. But free to take pictures as desired.
Then I walked inside to check out the Open House, and ran into another 50-60 cars with just enough space to walk around them for pictures. I suppose they own some of the cars, some fully restored and a few in process of restoration or waiting their turn. Others are for sure customer cars in for service, many in process of restoration. Seems like they went to a lot of work cleaning and emptying the working shop space before arranging all of the cars inside for convenient viewing. Given a few more days, I'm sure the place will be a working shop again.
Another peek outside from the shipping dock, giving a view of the final crowd of visitor cars.
One final stroll around the front office and "waiting room". No wild celebration, and no tech sessions happening, just smiles, chat, business cards and shaking hands a lot. After a couple hours of gawking and drooling, navigator and I were off and running again.
