PRESS RELEASE 


Dozens of antique cars will hit the road in Williamsport, Maryland on June 8, 2013 as the 24th annual Orphan Car Tour gets underway.  Dubbed the "Williamsport Wanderlust",  this year's tour will cover roughly 40 miles of scenic and lightly-traveled roads in the Williamsport area, with stops at several historic sites along the way. 

The event gets underway at 12:00 PM at Byron Memorial Park, on East Potomac St. (Route 11), where drivers of antique "orphan" (discontinued-make) vehicles will gather to register their cars.  Shortly afterwards, cars will be released, one-by-one, onto the tour route, with each driver following printed directions and traveling at his or her own pace.   Fort Frederick,  the private automobile collection of D. M. Bowman, and the Williamsport Visitor Center of the C & O Canal National Park will be among several points of interest which participants will visit during the course of the day. 

At the end of the afternoon, cars will find their way back to the park where a buffet dinner will be served at the Community Center there.  (Reservations are required by May 27, for the dinner, which is optional; the cost is $18 for those 12 and over.)   

The Tour will be held "rain or shine".   An entry fee of $8 per car may be pre-paid, or can be paid at the tour.   Drivers are strongly urged to bring a navigator along for reasons of safety.  Further information is available at the website www.orphancartour.org, by calling (540) 364-1770, or by e-mailing tourdirector at orphancartour.org.  Cellphone contact for Tour officials on the day of the tour only, is 703-986-8785. 
  
The Orphan Tour is held in a different part of the greater Washington-Baltimore area each year for the purpose of encouraging the driving enjoyment of antique "orphan" vehicles: cars or trucks at least 25 years old which were produced either by now-defunct manufacturers, or by the discontinued divisions of surviving companies.  For the past two years the event has attracted a turnout of 64 vehicles.   It is sponsored by Mid-Atlantic Packards (a region of the Packard Club), the Potomac Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club, the Potomac Ramblers chapter of the AMC Rambler Club, the DeSoto Owners Club of Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, and the Keystone Region Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club.
