my youngest son is going to attend Duquesne in the fall. What car events are in the area? he's probably going to take his '32 along if he can get indoor storage for it. Is storage pricey near the campus? I'll probably visit him in the summer and take in some shows. VERY open to suggestions..........
in Canonsburg, there is a small Tuesday cruise at the Shop n'Save, every other Sat. at the McDonalds on Race track Road, every Friday at Mineral Beach in Finleyville, Sultans big show at the Hobby Lobby parking lot (Washington) many more. you should post in the Pittsburgh Area social forum.
It depends on what time in the fall. But fall Carlisle, fall Hershey and fall Maple Grove are all very good swap meets. And not really too far from Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is horrible for car stuff unless you like sitting in parking lots of strip malls . Hardly any traditional stuff . Muscle cars . Pastel 80s cars and a ton of bad tire and rim combos here . The fun stuff for me is the PVGP at Schenley Park in July . 3000 plus cars and vintage racing on the streets . And the steel town shakedown I believe in September .
Flop is a little critical but carcruises.com and cruisin times.com can offer some local events. Jalopy showdown and other local club events may suit your needs also. Have some fun before you die is the rule i try to go by.
Last year we traveled across Rt 30 and stayed in Irwin just on the SE corner of Pittsburg. We found a weekly cruise in at a strip mall parking lot right on Rt 30. Probably 250 cars there that night. If you are looking for a nice drive take Rt 30 on east about an hour (??) east to the Flight 93 Memorial. You wont regret it.
