Due to the sweeping effects of the current U.S. economic crisis and construction at the top of the Hershey Hill, directors of the Susquehanna Valley Vintage Sports Car Club Region of The AACA have cancelled the 2009 edition of the Hershey Vintage Hillclimb that was scheduled for May 2-3, 2009.

However, SVVSCC will immediately begin working with HERCO and the Milton Hershey School for the event's "Return to the Hill" in 2010. "We believe that this additional time will allow us to come back with a bigger and better Hershey Vintage Hillclimb. With our in-town relationships to The AACA National Offices and Museum, our partnering alliances are strong and determined toward our success," said a statement from the organization.

The 2010 Featured Marque will recognize the street-performance and racing accomplishments of the Ford Motor Co. A special Car Corral will be set aside for Ford cars, including AC Cobras and Shelby Mustangs. It's anticipated that the only AC Cobra to ever claim the overall win at the original Hershey Hillclimbs will be part of a special display. Acknowledging that the Cobra/GT40/Daytona Coupe "kit car" fraternity is a rapidly growing side of the car hobby, an area will also be reserved for them.

Participation in The Hershey Vintage Hillclimb is open to compliant sports cars, speedsters and touring cars from the advent of the horseless carriage to 1985. Individuals or organizations who would like to be involved in the 2010 "Return to the Hill" should use the appropriate contacts on the website, www.SVVSCC.org.
