The Antique Automobile Club of America’s museum may call Hershey its home, but some exhibits currently on display at the museum have a distinct Northeastern Pennsylvania flavor.
A 1973 Chevrolet Corvette restored to its full glory by Swoyersville resident Mark Nenichka is just one of almost a dozen cars with ties to Luzerne County featured in the “Muscle Cars: Past and Present” and “Legacy Series: Dodge Challengers Then and Now” exhibits on display at the AACA Museum.
Both displays opened to the public in November, and will be on display through April 20 and 21, according to the AACA’s website.
Nenichka’s Corvette, a gift from his late friend and coworker Rusty Flack, was previously featured as a winner in the Times Leader’s Fins, Fenders and Fuel contest back in 2021.
More recently, the car was featured in the AACA’s Antique Automobile Magazine, with a write-up by Nenichka detailing the car’s history, the work that was put into fixing it up and the long list of accolades the Corvette has garnered over the years.
