  1. As far as my fellow vendors go, they range from weak to good, so far…. One can never “ bank “ on quantity of sales until the actual money is in one’s pocket, of course, but we all have goals of what total $$$ taken in would constitute a fair show, a good show, and an excellent show…. At this point, with Wednesday and Thursday completed ( 2 days ) , and Friday and Saturday to go ( 1 3/4 days ) , you would certainly like to be at 50 % of your believed goal to have a good show… Some of my friends and fellow vendor friends are decently short of that mark, some are short of that mark , and some of us are at that plateau…. No one I personally know is over that mark , or doing cartwheels up and down the aisles , overjoyed in success…. But, with two (2) days to go, there certainly is time to have poor become good, for decent to become great…. We all won’t know the final number for 48 hours… There is some precipitation slated for later today / Friday from 2 : 00 P.M. through 11 : 00 P.M. , but with continued hourly accumulations of .01 —- so, there just might be some times , maybe steady at times, of that annoying little drizzle…. But that usually doesn’t have people running for the hills , like a steady rain, storm , or worse… We ( should ) be okay tomorrow—- and Saturday should be glorious…. Come on down —- the vendor areas are more than 90 % full , there are plenty of cars in the corral — from rugged to gorgeous —- and, as you heard ^^^ above ^^^ , some are selling … also Friday is day 2 of 2 of the car auction across the street at the Carlisle Expo Center —- so there is still plenty of reason to be here , if you are a classic or antique car officianado….. Don’t be a whining little wimp —- and stay home —- and then bemoan , “ I should have gone “ … get your tushy moving and get down here… Be a MAN !!! Or a WOMAN !! and Get Down here… People are here from Canada, Eh ? ( MANY ) , my friend Ernesto from Oviedo, Spain , my friends Tomas , Roland , and Bjorn from Sweden , and a lot of states from the United States are represented —- I have already personally served Oregon , California , Florida , and Maine… See ya’ here —- I am at I I 118 - 119 —- G M, MOPAR , and FORD , and Others —- Rambler, Studebaker, International , Packard, Edsel, AMC, Nash, and more…. Yours, Craig….
  2. I just read some of your above comments, and I will add some…. Fords @ Carlisle coming up —- not a big field of vendors ( many of us have left that venue, because of lack of sales ) but over 3500 cars —- the large percentage is newer Mustangs ( the 2000 s , NOT 1964 - 1973 so much ) Virtually never any Lincolns…. Of any era , and a smattering of the rest….. G Ms @ Carlisle —- sadly, a postage stamp of a show —- they have marketed this show badly —- because,it just hasn’t happened….. mostly Chevelles, Camaros, Novas, and Corvettes…. I did it the first 14 years , have not done it the last 11….. Call me, if it ever amounts to anything !!! Chryslers @ Carlisle —- the Number # 1 MOPAR Event on Planet Earth —- has farrrrr surpassed the MOPAR Nationals in Columbus, Ohio… 3200 + cars last year and climbing, SOLD OUT Vendor Area and overflowing , huge car corral , seminars, autograph signings, and a whoooooooole lot more…. If you are a MOPARIAN , or enjoy Chargers, Challengers, Super Birds and Bees, the craziest color scheme any Manufacturer offered, Chrysler 300s and Imperials , and on and on, you do not want to miss this fantastic show…. It is truly phenomenal in absolutely every way….. If you live anywhere near Carlisle, Pennsylvania; they offer an all events Seasonal Pass for $ 89 —- which entitles you to FREE Admission every day at any show, such that, by day seven (7) of your attendance , you are ahead of the game…. And don’t forget , there is also the Truck Show, the Corvette Show, the Import and Performance Show, and FALL CARLISLE, the week preceding HERSHEY…. Many, many people from around the WORLD make the two week trek from late September to the middle of October for FALL CARLISLE and HERSHEY…. Yours, Craig….
  3. Hey, pkhammer, oh man, I wish you had stopped by to say hello !!! I —- was —- extremely active today, and a good bit of it was buying…. some of the other conversations that I had, will indeed lead to sales down the road, so it was vital that I took the time to lead them to the promised land !!! The place was crawling with people today, the aisles were full for what I could see… And I am in row I I —- the middle of the infield… One of my fellow vendor friends in Row P down by gate one agreed —- his aisle was typically very full at 6 : 45 A.M. to 9 : 00 A.M. and still had people all day…. Yesterday, Wednesday, there were considerably less people, but 50 - 70 % were buying….. Today, Thursday, the place was jam packed, but I would say 15 - 20 % were buying…. approximately 1 in 5 , 1 in 6…. That’s all …. Luckily, I was too busy, as pkhammer said, to wonder why they were here ?!?! I was busy serving people….. For all those that were aimlessly wandering around —- it is fair to wonder why they would pay $ 10 to park , $ 13 each for admission , to just clog up the aisles ?!?! They would walk down the middle of the aisle, and not even look left or right ?!?! Or “ dutifully walk the outer curve “ and not go down any aisle ?!?! I don’t think they got their money’s worth, to be honest……. Still two (2) more days here —- Friday and Saturday —- come be part of the fun !!! Yours, Craig…..
  4. “ Should be here this week “ ?!?! Which is coming first —- the Egg Rolls or the Master Cylinder…… Come down to Spring Carlisle right now, I have three (3) made in U.S.A. on my counter —- spots I I 118 - 119…. Pick it up today, drive tonight….. Craig…..
