Fitchburg, Mass Swap, Who's going?

I went and am back home (2 1/2 hour drive one way). A lot of parts. some good deals. Was looking for some vintage modified race car parts, got there at 8:30 and was about 10 minutes late on getting a vintage race car rear end. Come to find out someone from Altamont, NY bought it.


Was My wife was dissapointed when I told her there were no sewing machines (she collects them).

I'll post some pictures later.

 

My wife and I went to Fitchburg today, had a good time visiting a lot of old friends. The weather was a mix of rain, sunshine, hot, and cold...typical New England spring weather. Here is Bob Nulman, Jared Bruliard, Koby Broderick looking for some bargins. I have about a dozen more random photos that I will post.

I really liked this one.

 

Last photo... We stopped for lunch in downtown Worcester, MA. This sign looks awesome at night.

 

Didn't find any "treasure", but it's all about the hunt for it. Here's Coney Island at night with the old '57 parked out front.

 

The rain woke me up around 4 am, it sounded like Niagra Falls and then at 6, it just stopped. Got there about 7 and the place was already hoppin. Took one lap around and decided to sell some stuff. Sold lots of stuff at blowout prices and got to see lots of friends. Packed up around 11:30 just before another black rain cloud hit. Funny there was still people coming in at that time. It's pretty much over by then.

 

Found just what I was looking for, sold a few items...like Ice Cube said...it was a good day.

Pete-

 

S10ace, Nice meeting you. That guy from Altamont is probably settin in the middle of the field at 4AM with a flashlight ready

 

Oh man I really cleaned up this year...at the Airport Diner! "Ultimate" omelete, bacon, pancakes...I'll be dreaming about it tonight. oh yeah and also got some sweet fender skirts for the '48.

 

Here are some pictures of various sights at the swap meet.

 

Straightpipes, you are right on that account. Nice meeting you. See you guys at the next one. Here are some more pictures.

 

Thanks for all the photos! I had family stuff I could not get out of I could have used a boost after Stafford.

 

Saw a couple of good deals. Did not find what I was looking for but saw soggy friends and got to stop at Dennys for breakfast on the way home. All in all it was still a good time.

 

i had a good time hooked up with friends scored some treasures it was a good morning

 

I really restrained from buying anything, Iv been thinning the herd for the past year so I can concentrate on a few projects.

The Diner rocks! Best grub in town.

Pete-
