Went to a local swapmeet this morning

[BobT-47P15]

Didn't find much for old Mopars.

Got a P15 sedan stop light chrome piece with lense in fair condition, and a

set of checker center spinner style wheel covers. Got the covers to

replace the set that was damaged in the tornado.

There was a 1950 Chrysler four door (brown) for sale for $7000....pretty

nice car with box covers on the seats. Appeared ready to go as it was

evidently driven to the event.

It seems like the smaller local swap meets are usually lacking in parts for our

old mopars. Have to hit some of the bigger ones I guess.

Glad you got some new wheel covers. Hope you get your car back on the road soon Bob.

Thanks, Steve.

There were a few small items for other makes of old Mopars, but

they were used and I hesitate to buy them for resale as they may

or may not be good enough quality for the next guy.

Went back to the swap meet, which today included a car show. Not huge,

but some nice cars displayed.

The first thing I noticed was this DeSoto one seat coupe owned by a young

couple from this area. They bought it from an older man in a town about

60 miles from here.....they drove it home. Said it will run 65 with no problem.

Nice Dodge humpback panel truck (rod).........

Then I saw this Plymouth......which had been for sale at a house in the north part of town several months ago.

Coincidentally I know the new, current

owner. Said he had to have the gas tank worked on, unplug gas lines, do

some tuneup work and replace the starter -- then it fired up and ran. The

real good news for him is - the interior had been completely re-done. His

purchase price was reasonable given condition of the car.

Then, here's the 49 Chrysler I mentioned earlier.........pretty nice car alright.

Owned by some area folks. Little or no rust problems on it.

Here's the price and phone number..........

Link to my photo album with more shots from the show.
