Tailfins Forever Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Living in the BERKSHIRES I consider Rhinebeck to be the "EASTER HOLIDAY" of my Particular "RELIGION" Used to Have Swap Meet Spaces.... or shared some with friends who have since moved South. Plan on attending Saturday & Sunday... as Friday is still a wurkin' day at this point in my life. Will Look for the Above Trucks ...plus Hopefully Dandy Dave's '25 WHITE Truck Nice Patina Cab with the Yellow Bed. C U there !

Steve_Mack_CT Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We will be there Saturday scouting gas & oil goodies, Model A doo dads and Packard paraphenalia. Half thought about bringing the Packard Sunday, just under 2 hours each way on mostly back roads but still getting acclimated and it has hasn't really been woken up for the season. Yardwork first...

yachtflame Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I’m heading down on Friday and staying till Saturday late afternoon. Coming 2 hours from Amherst, Mass if anyone needs anything moved to or from. I’m hoping I don’t have to bring my galoshes!

Walt G Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It has been many years /decades since I attended Rhinebeck flea market and car show. Always enjoyed it once there but it was a long drive up from long island and back and usually some kind of traffic or delay on the Taconic parkway that is the north/south route to get there. I never found much there to buy but also realize that what I seek is mostly odd and unusual makes of vehicles, accessories etc. I hope the weather is good for all the effort that the organizers/volunteers put into making it happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hate that I'm going to miss it this year, I'm going to be especially upset if some of my most wanted to see cars show up, like the last time I skipped Rhinebeck and one of the GM Futureliners was there. At least this time I'm doing something fun instead of missing it because my stupid body can't handle the heat. It's just a straight run up Route 9 for me...I suppose that means I'll just have to appreciate the 2024 show more. For anyone thinking about going or not...do it! It's a heck of a lot of fun!

Nice town, it's just 20-25mins north from me...very busy on the weekends, I purchased my Monte Carlo from the Chevrolet Dealership there ( I was told they were the oldest Chevrolet Dealership in Dutchess County, they have since closed ) Picture of me after they closed.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very small inventory on their lot. I remember several small dealerships around my home area too that had to fold when dealers had to be huge and carry lots of inventory. Virtually all the little guys were out in small towns or very rural areas. One I remember in particular had both Ford cars and Ford tractors on the lot. Edit- to keep on original thread track, I did visit the area where the car show is held. Really nice place. I grew up in the PA hard coal region where watching a drag line shovel tear up the ground in search of coal was visible from your back porch. No such problems in your area.

auburnseeker Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 How bad is the parking lot going to be? I remember years with not as much rain and the cars being stuck all over the parking lot. I think I'm hitting a more local antique show instead. I sometimes do better at those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I plan on being there with one of the vehicles on Sunday. I think the White truck, but could bring the 15 Buick. Weather looks like it will be a good turn out for a change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Neat to see the Weinermobile. When they were new on the road, for the advertising, one broke down in Mineola , NY here on long island. It wound up in a friends gas station for repairs - Jondol Service on Jericho Turnpike , located on the north side of the road just opposite Mineola Ford. The weather vane on the top of that service station now sits on the top of my garage for 30+ years, all the buildings of the service station were demolished within the past year or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
