For many years we have all gathered at the Hoosier Auto Show and Swap meet held at the Marion Co. Fairgrounds. Been a great long lasting venue for sure. This year there will be no Marion Co Hoosier meet. Hoosier Vintage Wheels has stepped up and arranged a replacement venue to be held at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin Indiana. Its a two day meet May 15th and 16th 2015 from 7am to 5 pm each day. A special display featuring vintage cars, trucks, campers and memorabila. The vintage camper display is to be pretty neat if ya like old campers. Inside spaces are available as well... We will attend and blow the dust off my orginal 1947 Kit Camper (teardrop). Inside and outside spaces are available. For info call Scott Willis at 317-501-5266 or [email protected]... Jim Linder Bubbas Hot Rod Shop
Jim, I really think they were done when they were thrown out of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Now back then were fun times for sure.
The swap spaces are only $25 at the new show! Lots of paved surface so you won't have to deal with mud and long grass!
Is there going to be one in the fall at the new place,I have been attending it for over 30 years and a little bummed but seen it coming.
Sept 18 & 19 are planned. Help us kick off a successful event by attending the May show. If you are not vending bring in your car, camper, and a group of friends.
Wanted: Vintage Campers, Survivor and Barn find cars and trucks for the show. They will be under roof and locked up at night. Camping available at the fairgrounds.
It was a good turn out in May ,should double in Sept.!! Everyone said they would be back and tell thier friends ! !
Will it look like it came out of the barn, or are you going to clean it up for the show/swap meet 1st? I think it's cool to see them "untouched".
Can we sleep on our swap meet spot? Can I bring a golf cart, I have no knees. Thanks For starting it up. Tom
I did wash and clean out the Sedan Delivery. It does run and I have driven it around my property...no brakes!!! You can stay on your spot. Electricity is available on some spots, Vintage Campers are more than Welcome! as well as modern. There is a camper area with full hookups, real restrooms and showers with hot water. We will allow golf carts etc. driven by licensed drivers. No golf carts inside the buildings of course. Handicap and Motorcycle parking is on pavement by the swap meet. We have a special area by the Vintage camper and survivor, barn find display for those who drive their vintage wheels. We will have 50's and 60's music playing, food and specialty and vintage vendors for the Ladies. There will even be a couple of pinstriper / sign painters !
