Like Keith states above, this collection would encompass everything from original dealer signage, to promo models, to any and all literature, to cars and trucks, tools from the factory. I've even got a cafeteria tray from one of the buildings at the plant. Anything and everything would be put on display. And believe me, there is a lot of "stuff" in this area to display. All paperwork would be available for research by anyone, just like the POCI establishment, but I can see engineering drawings and prototype documents turning up in this area that are not in that collection in Hershey. Anything that someone has saved and now wants to contribute to the museum and research center would be welcomed. And, it never hurts to have duplicate items in more than one geographic location.
