Hi Jeff,

This is one of the best swap meets around and I hope you still have spaces available?

I plan on bringing some Stromberg OF's, a Winfield and others along with a nice alum Warford 3 speed and an early two piece drive shaft and Bill Dubats counterbalanced crankshaft. Lots of other brass goodies like a couple of early dash clocks!

We'll see you there again coming Soon!!

Only a week away! It's a great swap meet and we're expecting a great turnout. We have been growing each of the last few years and are on track to have more vendors than last year again. Don't miss the oldest and best old car swap meet in the west! Saturday July 20 at Long Beach City College Veterans Stadium.

It was the best, until Harrah started having swap meets in Reno. After he died, it didn't take long for it go downhill.

Harrahs was top notch. LB was great when you could camp overnight, Hamilton Bowl.
Best deals were when it was closed to public for the night.

OK Original and Big, You know things are always changing and sometimes for the best! Long Beach is still a great swap!!

The Long Beach swap had some really good deals last year and it looks like it'll be a record turn out this year with some nice weather.
I sold a few really good things and made some great money. I'll be bringing some more things year including a brass eight day dash clock, a couple Stromberg OF Carbs and a nice Warford and maybe even an extra E Timer and ECCT!!

See you There! Make sure to stop by and Say Hi THIS Saturday

It was a buyers meet. Lots of good, uncommon parts/accessories. Cheap.
There was a real nice 17 touring with demountables for $8k
What floored me was an older restoration, 26 roadster. Very presentable driver, nice paint on wood wheels & extra set of wires, hubs, new tubes & tires asking $5.500. Surprised the hot rod guys didnt grab it either. It went back home. One of our in the market members may end up with it. I hope so, its a lot of nice desirable T for about 1/2 the price it should be.
