Bakersfield 2020 brass era meet

[Old buicks 2]

Anyone heard anything about the Bakersfield brass era swap meet.     There is no mention of it in the last Horseless Gazette.

There was some discussion that it might be over with due to a lack of personell to host/run it

[RansomEli]

Wow, that's distressing news. With Chickasha ending this year, Bakersfield is the only brass meet left.

 

It's a small, but loaded with lots of interesting stuff. 

 

Hope HCCA continues with it or, in the alternative, a few brave souls continue the tradition.

 

Now I know what the dinosaurs felt like.

It's still on the HCCA calendar for April 17-18, just before the annual convention Apr 19-23 in Stateline, NV.  See page 4 (calendar) of the Jan-Feb Horseless Carriage Gazette.   The Bakersfield swap is listed as a "non-club" event (??).  I love it, as it's virtually the only place out west for significant amounts of pre-war non-Ford stuff without tripping over vast amounts of SBC stuff and mag wheels (sorry, fans of SBC and mag wheels).

It is not closing now as the family is going to carry the ball again so I was told. There is another brass swap meet on the east coast into its 3 or 4 year now I hear is growing that I have never been to.
