Duncan,Ok. swapmeet

[Gene_French]

it is getting to be time to start planning our springtime auto. activities ... i spoke with Kevin Hammock this week regarding any changes in the Duncan swapmeet in March ... the only change is BIGGER ... the 2 north buildings are sold out and the building that was under construction last year is completed and will house an additional 100 plus spaces ... also outside spaces are increased due to the area used for construction access and staging is now available ... this meet is a general swapmeet that has added a seperate pre-war section ...this is much like the Chickasha meet with similar indoor facilities including comfortable heated indoor spaces with clean restrooms and showers ... many of the vendors that had attended the Chickasha meet were onsite as were additional regional vendors ... last years event had a good variety of mostly model T parts and several project as well as restored vehicles ...i had good sales and also purchased several items of interest including period Masonic items and a Rajo cylinder head a model B crankshaft and some early Dodge Brothers literature ...a good event for me and i also visited with many of the MTFCA membership including John Tanahill , the Temples ,Donny Brown ,John Steele and George House ...i recommend this meet to all active hobbyist and restorers ...an excellent buyer/seller environment in a comfortable , accessible , central location ...job well done Kevin ...thank you ...Gene French
P.S. i will start a "wanted to buy" Duncan Swapmeet section ... i am looking for a windshield frame for a 1931 Murry body Model A 4 dr. ( has slant windshield ) , 1900-1930 Masonic items , early 4 cyl. Dodge Brothers parts particularly 20" and 24" disc wheels and lockrings ...i will remind all that at a swapmeet you can see what you are buying ...many of us have been SCAMMED by sellers that claim to have a needed part or give an in-accurate description of an item or a very poor photo ...at a swapmeet you are the judge of the quality and suitability and worth of a part ... a swapmeet is just as much of a hobby event as going to a car show and bragging about your expensive paint job ...
