AS YOU CAN SEE, THOSE LUXURY VEHICLES ACROSS THE HALL FROM US. NOW I HAVE DON PERRY JOINING ME THIS MORNING. HOW HAS THE TECHNOLOGY CHANGED OVER THE YEARS? I MEAN, THERE ISN’T REALLY ANY TECHNOLOGY IN THIS VEHICLE, RIGHT? YOU’RE KIND OF A COMFY AND COZY HERE, RIGHT? BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU WANT TO BACK THIS THING UP, THERE’S NO REAR BACKUP CAMERA IN THIS. THERE’S NO LANE KEEP THERE’S NO COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM. THERE’S NOT EVEN ANY SEATBELTS IN HERE. RIGHT.

IT’S JUST JUST AN INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE HOW THE INDUSTRY IS INVOLVED ITSELF. WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN LEARN IF THEY COME OUT TO THE PENNSYLVANIA AUTO SHOW? NOT JUST ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THESE ANTIQUE VEHICLES, BUT JUST ALSO ABOUT COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. YEAH, IT’S A GREAT QUESTION. I MEAN, THERE’S A LOT OF HISTORY HERE.
