Don Coatney Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Gary and company stopped by last year. If they stop by this year Lisa will have to entertain them as I am in DC. Quote

thedahmer Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Don, we got there at 6am when they opened-- shopped hard and quick-- found some bargains-- was out of there by 9-- good little show--I did notice a few of the old timers were not there this year--- Quote
Young Ed Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 If those wire wheels are in good shape I'd say you got a good deal there! Quote
1940Mopar Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 I was there, and unfortunately couldn't take the time to check it out as much as I wanted to. I got there around 9 and had to leave by 10:45. Definitely not nearly enough time. Overall it seemed like a great show. I'll have to admit, I haven't done many of these mainly because I was never in a position to need them to find vintage parts. So I may not be the best person to assess how good or bad a show it was. But I enjoyed the little bit of time I got to spend there and, I'll definitely have to make plans to better pillage and plunder it next year. LOL I didn't find any really specific early Mopar dealers. It seemed to me that everyone who had anything of interest to me seemed to have everything which made spotting that much more difficult...but still lots of stuff to be had. There were times that I wished I had an old Ford though. I spotted plenty of ford flathead V8 parts and even some speed equipment. I had my eyes open for overdrives and carbs, and some trim parts, but didn't see anything. I ran into one of the Tennessee Poor Boy's who happens to own a 52 plymouth sedan. He had scored a complete Carter BB carb from I dealer who didn't know what it was for. He ended giving him a dollar for a fully complete, rebuildable core. Next year some of the local guys and those willing to drive will have to make a little meet of it. BTW anyone know whether there are any more swap meets coming up within range of a couple hours drive of Nashville in the near future. I've been bitten by the bug and need to get a fix of old grungy parts... Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 I ran into one of the Tennessee Poor Boy's who happens to own a 52 plymouth sedan. Omari; I know most of the Tennessee Poor Boys. Who did you meet? Quote
1940Mopar Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Don, Met a cool guy named Joe. He's got an early 50s plymouth sedan. Real flathead fan too to boot. Young guy drives a truck for a living. Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Can you pick him out of this line-up? Quote
