A couple weekend's away....I look forward to this like my non hot-rod friends look forward to waterfowl or deer hunting. If your out of state and are looking for a good way to wrap up the season this is the best swap meet in Minnesota...period.

So if it is nice I will be there in the Roadster... If it not nice I'll be there in the Wagon...

Looking for some five spokes, maybe some gauges, 34 ashtray....

I'll be there in my 36 Roadster

 

well i am planing on duramaxing and got my room last nite, bringing help to haul out stuff, tomrrow am selling to crusher for sum FUN money
dont think i would like to roadster 250 miles may be cold!!!

 

Always missed it because of the "Hunnert Car Pile Up"... I don't have that to worry about that anymore....

 

$5? I'll be there!

 

When i lived in MN, this was my favorite one of the year...did good selling and always found good stuff to buy!

 

I am planning on it. However, my daughter is landing at 11pm the night before coming back from presenting a paper at USC. I'll probably get to the swap late, but proud.

 

I'll be there. I'm undecided whether to swap, or just go to buy......

 

I plan to be there with some new 350 sbc heads and some big slicks on wide oem steelies - maybe some other stuff too.........

 

I am planning on making it again this year. I will be looking for 29 Model A Phaeton stuff and what ever other 28/29 goodies I can find.

 

I'll be there with a bright orange 53' Olds hardtop.If you are in town on Saturday, just before the Roadsters Fall Swap and looking for something to do, near the fairgrounds :

I am planning on making the trip...Should be fun!

 

Week away, lets hope for good weather!

 

Never miss it.Will probably vend but wont be part of the flashlight crowd.Thinking of rolling in 8-ish or so.Have a bunch of tri-five o.d. transmissions to move.A 58 Plymouth o.d trans and a pair of '56 Olds fenders plus a few more trinkets.

 

it is a good swapmeet but i rather go to the frankensteiners ball car show that same day

 

Great swap meet, I've been going since 82. Having said that I'm going to the Frankenstieners ball. I did both a few years till the ball was moved to the Anoka fairgrounds. Most of our club shows up. Kids go trick or treating from car to car, we grill lunch. It's a great show. Maybe one of these yearsthey will not be on the same day.

 

Absolutely one of the best swapmeets of the year for me. Set the alarm for midnight,
on the road by 1:00 a.m. Jeff (midwestcruiser) will be making the trip with me for the first time, well worth the 4 hour, one way drive for me. Always find something I need and usually find a few that I dont, but still buy them. Its gonna be a long winter,
gotta have something to do......look for us, we will be the two with flashlights
at 6 a.m. Scott

 

I might be there!

 

I'll be at Blackhawk farms crewing on two Formula Fords Fri and Sunday ( been 13 years since I have been to an SCCA race ) and Saturday up to Greatlakes. Should be a great wat to end the Summer.

 

I'll be there! Bring you Desoto hemi stuff please!

 

Looks like a great day foreasted with sun and highs in the 60's. Hope to see evryone out there.

 

Hope to see you guys there!

 

What part of the fairgrounds is it at?

 

It's held in the Northeast corner. Weather forecast still looks favorable. Hope to see evryone there!

 

Thanks. I can't wait

 

I had big plans of going this weekend but I'll be up in Fargo instead...someone snag a Superior 500 woodgrain steering wheel and a pair of 5x4.5 bolt pattern M/T slot mags for me ...

 

Cant wait!

 

My dad and I will be there making some room in our garages hopefully!

 

With Great lakes canceled I'll be there, look for the old guy pictured on the left.

 

Had a great day, picked up some small, well needed parts. Not sure what happened to the nice weather, didnt find any of that until we were west of the cities on our way home, but shouldn't complain. Saw a few familiar faces and a lot of nice parts up for sale. Scott
