  1. Nice set of 1963 vintage Antique Parts and Cars Magazines. Great articles and illustrations. $25 includes shipping to USA. First PM to reserve. Paypal or personal check ok. SOLD!
  2. Fast and Loud: They will chop it, bag it, and slam it- oh, and stick in a 502 big block. Woops, wrong group! Nevermind. Long week suffering from Hershey hang-over.
  3. "...cars were required to remain on the showfield until 3pm...." Amen, after setting up our vendor spaces on Tuesday and keeping it going until 5pm every day; I convinced my 79 year old Hershey vending partner to amble over to the showfield at 1pm Saturday. After all the years of vending, he hasn't enjoyed the car show in decades. With his cane in hand, and his knees and ankles aching, we entered the field. Although he could not make it around all the rows, the cars we saw were spectatular. We thank the Region and National Club for making the entire week possible.
  4. Great pictures. Fall Carlisle's 40th was a great weekend. The swap meet had loads of vintage parts and many vendors that are headed to Hershey on Tuesday. Thanks to Chip and Bill Miller for creating a wonderful venue for car guys and girls of all ages and interests.
  5. Steve: My 16 year old would love to sit in your race car; and he would certainly respect it, as long as it goes really fast! Trouble is, he will never believe he is allowed to sit in it- perhaps if I show him this....................,;
  6. We'll be in our favorite spots: GAI 18-19 with our trailer full of 1941-46 "Art-Deco" Chevrolet and GMC truck parts. Find where the Hyman collection intersects with the car corral and you're just about there. Arriving on Tuesday afternoon and setting up for the duration: Wednesday early am until Saturday about 2pm.
  7. Be careful here. When you see a long line of parked cars, that can be space used for Region volunteer parking. There are certainly spaces being used as parking, some by active vendors who have to park their vehicle somewhere; and others who reserve a space each year just to get a convenient spot. In the middle are a large group of folks who try to adhere to the spirit of the rules by placing a few parts behind their vehicle with "self-service" sales. Asking the Region, of which I am not a member, to "police" all this is not resonable. They have neither the time nor inclination. We all need to follow the rules as best we can so everyone has an enjoyable time.
  8. I know, it's a long week. Set up on Tuesday, deal with the weather, by Friday evening you're ready to pack up and head home. But there is one segment of the hobby we forget as we leave early. School age kids- you know, the future of this hobby. If they can't play hooky on Friday, they arrive to a flea market field that is nearly vacant. Sure they can enjoy the car show and what remains of the car corral. In years past, Saturday was a busy day in the flea market area. But then vendors started leaving early, and then shoppers stopped coming because the fields were so empty. This year, let's reverse that trend. We'll be in GAI 18-19; and we'll be open at least until 2pm. Hope you'll join us.
  9. And the answer is: 1959 Buick grille emblem. Thanks!
  10. About 4 inches in diameter, part number on reverse is 1187587. Has a small threaded boss on the back. Thanks.
  11. 16 spoke, tires are 30 by 3 1/2. Thanks for any info.
  12. Right. This link shows the "village". It occupies some flea market space, some car corral space, and a few tents and decorations on the "lawn". I don't know how that relates to the 3-space limit- but we'll both see in October! http://216.119.96.20/gallery/hershey-pa-2008.htm
  13. So I guess "Hyman Village" won't be there this year
  14. They DO have bottled water at $5 a bottle. Wow. Take your own food and drinks, if you're used to the culinary fare at Carlisle- you're going to be disappointed. Try to park to the rear of the track- near the big water tower- and avoid the traffic snarles on Rt. 29 and Speedway BLVD. There are several decent hotels south of the track and you can avoid driving past the track alltogether. There are 2 flea market fields outside the track- near the rear parking lot; and then a huge flea market area inside the track. The rows run around in crcles and there are some fences you can't go thru- so expect a bit of exploring to find it all. If you're driving south on I-95 from PA, the traffic just south of DC is a real mess- esp. coming north on a weekend evening. A better route for you would probably be I-81. Just watch out for the kamakazee truckers! Enjoy.

  20. 11. Laughing at all the folks that can't spell..............Camaro: 8. It’s something different – Driving a 1968 Camero on Sunday, Swift Current’s Ron Schultz said collector vehicles are different than what one would otherwise see on the highways and he feels it’s a good thing to maintain that diversity.
  21. This dome light looks similar to 1940 Chevy's, but upon closer review the lense is glass and has a distinctive pattern. Any ideas? Thanks.
  22. Great set of LTD or GALAXIE wheelcovers. Appear to be NOS with minor shelf wear or very early take-offs. Price is $40 plus $12 for shipping to the lower 48. First PM gets them. Payment by paypal, money order, or personal check. Thanks.
  23. This is the guy who sold most of his Arizona-based housing development company just before the market crash of 2006-2009. He's not stupid. I would imagine he sees the jump in prices of these extreme high end collectible cars and wants to cash in before the market corrects. It should make for better TV ratings for the BJ folks, who tied their wagon to a poor network after the demise of the Speed channel. Imagine the commissions............................
  24. Here is a nice 1955 Technical service manual for the Hornet, Wasp, and Rambler series. This is the mechanical manual. It is loaded with mechanical data and information. This book is in fair to good condition. No rips or tears-and the binding is excellent. It has a slight musty smell from age; and a few of the last pages show minor water staining. You also get extra Hudson 4 manuals (not shown). They are in poor to fair condition: Collision parts manual for Rambler 1950-56 and Hudson 1952-56; Body Service manual 180-190 series; Flat rate manual 480-490-500 series Hudson; 1952 supplement to Flat Rate manual. Price is $25 plus $15 for USPS delivery to the lower 48 only. First PM to reserve- paypal or personal check ok. Send pm for pictures of extra manuals.
  25. Great site, great guys, well run. Great place to buy or sell vintage parts w/o the huge fees.
