That's not always the case. Some of the big swap meets/shows that I attend you have to walk around looking at tarp covered tables on clear/sunny days because you can't get some so called vendors up and out of their nice cozy motorhome beds until late morning, around lunchtime . The vendors who are there to really sell could always cover their 'nice things' with some clear plastic when it's raining and keep on selling . The rusty stuff doesn't care if it sunny or raining .

I believe it is at 157 Crawford St. If you get on Crawdford Street you will have no trouble finding it. jmho

Thanks Kerk! Hope to see you there if I can make it....and I sure hope I can. Bring some of your nice '35 stuff for me to at least take a look at . Those pictures I promised will be coming soon. Bring one of those nice 21 stud Eddie Meyer heads so I can drool all over it .

Google Fitchburg early ford and there is a flyer there with map and other info.
Fitchburg is a half day rain or shine swap meet and car show. They open the gate for vendors around 6 AM and it's pretty much over by 11 AM. We drive 6 hours for a 6 hour swap meet.

I'm on the fence about bringing my truck. If I can get a trailer I might. I don't know if a 50 mile trip should be the first trip beyond quick spins around town. Plus it looks like crap. Wouldn't mind,parking next to 32forddump though. If I do bring it what's the scoop for a newbie to these things? Arrival time, how to pick a spot, when can one leave, etc.

It's not a car show, it's basically a parking lot with a bunch of neat cars in it, the main attraction is the swap and getting together. Come and go when you want.

Say's it starts at 7am and arrive "early". Is there plenty of room for a truck and trailer to unload a car? Is there separate parking for show cars?

[ken ct]

They have plenty of room. ken ct.

[Frank Miller]

We park the show cars separate. A show car is whatever you say it is. It makes for an interesting display. There should be plenty of good weather in the next month so get some miles on that pickup and venture out for a ride. This is a really great meet on a nice day.

I am not in the club, but from what I have seen most anything goes in the show area. I don't think there is any judging or prizes. Hope someone who knows will correct me if I am wrong.

[biggeorge]

It's a great kick off for spring!!

[Straightpipes]

It's an airport, plenty of room! No judgeing. The prize is the fun you'll have. Lots of neat stuff comes out at the first get to gether of the year.

" Go Devil Garage " stop by and say Hi.

It is a fun meet especially for flathead people. I have been there several years. Last year we were on our way there early in the morning and were half way when a turkey flew up from the side off the road and smashed in the drivers side windshield (2000 Ranger). No time to react. Huge starburst and tiny pieces of glass in the cab. So, we turned around and limped home.

[chuck stevens]

Anyone interested in another New England tour should stop by either Ken's camper or Bill's shock spot. We'll have coffee and donuts and try to get your ideas on the stops. 41 Ford 1, "Chuck L." is the man setting this up, I hope we get a ton of cars, the more the merrier.

[Vic Piano]

Sounds like you guys will have a good time, wish I could make it. Vic
