some Gas stations and even some drug stores carry them her for $6. I think all the Gas City gas stations have them if you have those where you are

Hey delivery, I was actually going to go and pick some up today from this little store on the west side that I found. What colors are you looking for? What size? The most expensive ones at this store are about 85" x 70", or somewhere around that large. Of course the color question would be towards what colors do you want to dominate the blanket. Email me or just reply here. Oh, the highest priced large ones go for $19.00.

No Shortage out here in AZ either. There are 2 places about 10 miles from my house that sell them for about $5 each.

You can find 'em on any rat rod!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Ha Ha...I got a rebel flag from a local flea market and used it as a seat cover a couple years ago...I got more comments on the "seat cover" than I ever woulda thought...
...looks like I might run the "bars & stars" over the seat in my 49 Chevy, too!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Watch for the traveling tool sales that go from town to town, had one come thru Flint last month and got mine for $5.99 each, and they are about 4 1/2' x 6 1/2'. If I am not mistaken, the tool company was called HOMIER tools. The are said to be blemished blankets, but they look good to me, and anyway blemishes add character.

I am looking for 4 yellow ones. I was in San Anton this summer and could not find any yellow.. I was told that these are "rare" (I thought this was funny, a rare mex blanket.....) Anyone find yellow, I would gladly purchase them..

Hey imfatdad, I am going to Monterey next weekend for a climbing trip. I did not see any "Yellow" here in town today. If I happen to come across yellow blankets, do you want em?
No problem on my part. I am going to be in Mexico anyway, and I was going to bring back a few anyway. Same goes for you "lowdelivery". I will be bringing back some anyway, just let me know what you are looking for.
man, maybe I should stock up on these things.......

FuelPump that link didn't work for me but I found the site. I think maybe Mexican Blankets is more along the lines of what 1low wants (found one I REALLY like but a bit pricey, blue one about halfway down.) Can't wait to hang with you guys again. Eric

studeboy,
I changed that link so it should work now for anyone who needs it. I bought the mexican blankets for my 37 at Frank's in Birch Run but I don't think he normally stocks them. You might give him a try though.

They are easy to get around Portland. However, I have not seen any rebel flags for sale out here!

Now dont forget ... there is a difference between Southwest/Indian blankets and Mexican blankets .......... the Mexican blankets dont smell like alcohol and tobacco, No.... just kidding The Mexican blackets are the ones with all the bright colors the Southwest Indian Blackets look like Rodeo seat covers
