Terry Wiegand Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I spoke with Susie Ersland earlier today and got the official word that the Chickasha Swap Meet is on. This posting is to let all of the Early Buick Enthusiasts know that we will meet at High Noon at our usual meeting spot, otherwise known as Steve Hammatt's space. It's been two years since all of us Buick friends have seen each other and I for one am ready to get out of the house and back on the road for a little travelin'. I also am really glad that the dangerously cold weather seems to be behind us now. As that old saying goes - 'Be There or Be Square'.

chuckfmtexas Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Terry, I looked it up and it seems the pre-war meet is March 19-20 just for clarification for those who were not sure of the dates. Chuck. (from Texas where we need a new, powerful, and winterized electrical power grid!) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Chuck, you are absolutely right, I forgot to add the most important detail. The Meet is March 19 and 20. The Buick folks will get together at High Noon on Friday, the 19th. Chuck, we hope that you folks down in Texas have thawed out so that you can come up and join us. Susie told me that she thinks this is going to be a well attended Meet. Terry Wiegand South Hutchinson, Kansas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi all, I hope to be there, but have hernia surgery one week prior, so the trip will depend on recovery, and having a friend do most of the driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I talked to Steve Hammatt and Susie Ersland today and Steve said that he will not be able to be at the meet this year. I said that I would meet everyone at his space this year. See everyone at high noon on Friday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 The 'usual suspects' showed up at noon for the annual Pre-War Buick Gathering. The Meet was very well attended and everyone was happy to see their friends. Being cooped up from the Covid crap and the cold weather has really played havoc with folks being able to congregate and talk about their projects and visit with their friends. Someone said that Susie Ersland signed up 35 new, first time swap meet vendors. All in all, the meet was well attended under the circumstances.

Marty Roth Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Had planned to be there, but still dealing with after-effects from hernia surgery last Wednesday, and the drive would have been a strain. I hated to give up my motel reservation, but pulled the plug at the last moment when MD suggested that I not overdo and maybe pull internal stiches - I don't want to go throgh that again ! Hope everyione travels safe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckfmtexas Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Enjoyed chatting with you Terry. Good to see Pete, Steve, and the other ‘guys and gals.’ I found a few goodies for my !921 Model 45 Touring and made it home safely to Fort Worth late Friday afternoon. Enjoy your Spring season which officially starts today. 👍 Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, There was a LOT of Buick stuff--more than I've ever seen at this meet. No Buick cars, but seems like every third swap space had an old Buick part or two if you took the time to look through it all.

Terry Wiegand Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 There was also a nice 1916 Buick radiator assembly leaning up against the trailer tongue right across from Coker's trailer. Both sides of the core looked really nice and the hose connection tubes were really nice also. The bottom front side of the shell was rusted out and $150.00 was written on it. As Pete said there was a lot of Buick stuff if a person knew what they were looking for. A very good meet and a good time was had by all.
