Larry Schramm 2,189 Posted February 19 If you put a name and phone number with what your are looking for it would be helpful. Also you might mention if you are planning on being at the swap meet and what days. Also, someone here might have what you are looking for also.

Steve Hammatt 19 Posted February 19 Thank Larry for your suggestions. I'll be returning again to Chickasha to show our Leather License Plates. Our vendor space is in the North Bldg Spaces NJ 8-9. Perfect location: Air conditioning and heated, near the restrooms and practically next to the food vendor. What more to ask for! Also, I believe the Buick guy's will have their gathering at my booth space on Friday at 10am? We'll be showing leather license plates including the new "black on white ground" leather plate alongside our more normal aluminum numbers on the thick black leather. Stop by and say hello! We'll be there Friday at 8am and we'll stick around until noon on Saturday.

You might be better served to come on Friday if you can. You can then come to Steve's place and meet a bunch of pre-war guys at 10:00. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RansomEli 153 Posted February 20 26-25 Buick, If you arrive mid-morning Saturday, you'll be just in time to wave goodbye to all the dealers who've already packed up and are on their way home. Get there Friday morning for best results. From one who made that mistake. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Hammatt 19 Posted February 20 (edited) I'd go one better, specifically at Chickasha....... Plan to arrive Thursday early afternoon in order to "work the parking lot" before the vendors are allowed onto the fairground field. You'll have a chance, especially if you're looking for autos or the rusty bits that are typically loaded in on large open trailers! The indoor vendor space vendors tend to be the more specialist type vendors, specializing in certain products and/or services. Outdoor vendors tend to be more along the line of complete cars or large parts thereof, you know.....rust bits and other interesting items. Be assured, these are only my observations and are complete generalities. Either way, get there Thursday or Friday, stay for Saturday to enjoy the balance of the meet and to get those last minute deals from a vendor packing up and headed for home. I know that I always stay until noon before leaving my vendor space, not all vendors do this. As a buyer, remember, the best deals can often be gotten at the last minute! Enjoy Chickasha......many improvements have been made over the past few years. I'm sure additional improvements will be made. One improvement that I've noticed for this year is a start at re-doing the web page http://pwsm.com/ Unfortunately the update is not complete yet (3 weeks prior to the 2019 Swap Meet), hopefully the update will get done in time and it can contain links to aid attendees find local eateries, services and other travel assistance for persons attending in the next couple of weeks. Come to Chickasha, enjoy the swap meet, enjoy the people and best of luck in finding those special parts that you've been looking for!

26-25Buick 47 Posted February 21 Thanks all for the advice. It’s really valuable to a first timer. Unfortunately I have to work Thursday and Friday in Tx so they aren’t an option for me this year but I’ll keep this in mind for next time. Do you think it is still worth the side trip?

C Carl 1,209 Posted February 21 Hi, Neil. Here is a swap meet tip : A day or two before, buy a to go pizza. Extremely high quality pizza can often be found at joints cooking in wood, or coal fired ovens. Enjoy the tomato pie, and save the box. Use said container to make a fore and aft sign board with a wish list drawn on it. Tape it up into a crude vest. Discard vanity, swallow your pride, and don this assault on sartorial elegance as you approach the meet. You must max out the limited time you have. When I have a few topics needing exposure, I use three different colors for separating each for easier recognition. Good luck in finding the Cadillac parts. Are you a member of CLC ? In any case, I hope you can come back and visit us frequently. - Carl P.S. I am still looking for EXACTLY the right fog light. I just don't get around much anymore. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nash34 13 Posted February 21 (edited) You know I can appreciate being early birds. Seems like to me Saturday morning is when the best deals are to be had. One year I picked up 6 nice brass light for $600. Edited February 22 by Nash34 (see edit history) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
