Event Coverage 49th Annual Fitchburg Swap Meet and Car Show - 2019

Parts or Wives?

 

It's probably the biggest one in Massachusetts. It occupies quite a bit of the airfield between the vendors and the cars that show up for the show part on the other side of the field.

Here's just one row down the strip:

 

If you are looking for early For parts are vintage speed parts this is a can't miss. I travel 4 hours to sell at this one,

You can never have to many parts or wives, but I can never find a women who likes cars, racing and is will in to share the greatness that is me!

Which reminds me-

 

Like I said, things change on a dime. Met with surgeon yesterday. Now my surgery has been moved to April 25th for necessary reasons. Going to miss Fitchburg now as well. Glad I drove the Coupe the other day. Snowed again last night, so roads are full of crap again.

 

Some of my parts os sale N.O.S. wheel bearing-

 

I will also be selling my Vintage Mor-Drop axle and spindles 37-41 Ford polished beam sandblasted and primered.

Available with or without wishbones.


I am having a bear of a time getting photos to upload

Anybody need a set of '30/31 glass Model A fenders (no aprons)?

I'm going to piggyback on @BOSTONCAMARO with a few things unless I unload them beforehand. I've got a 34 hood that needs a new home.

Ted how is swap meet for vintage Chevrolet parts? Is it worth the 2hr trip?

 

I have the front half of a 33 Chevy chassis, front end, steering, etc if yo are interested

So I guess I am a "Hippie Farmer", close but no cigar but I do crave the smell of "manur" in the spring...
The fear of western MA among the eastern "elite" is the lasting belief that we are still fighting the French and Indian War. It's over....and Daniel Shays is dead. Go UMass hockey

 

I saw some stuff.....it wasn't all Ford crap.

 

Two weeks away none of you New England guys need me to bring something you bought in New York over?

 

Pics from the swap meet Please.

jim

 

If someone would bring rear fenders for my 47 Olds I'd be a happy man!
