Chibbie cars and parts seem to dominate Pomona. Otherwise their deal to sell or show may be one of the best considering exposure. Things are constantly changing however, as generations have different tastes. Back to Pomona, I took three '40 coupes there to sell, parking at the entrance for max traffic. Watching the crowd parade by, most younger folks would rarely glance. By the questions, many didn't even know what they are. Maybe a '40 Willys? A real learning experience. Good Luck: Fred A
When it started, the Pomona Swap Meet was billed as VW/Porsche and Model A parts but the junkers (rusty gold) and hot rods have taken over. The Air Cooled VW & Porsche parts are still mostly together near the entrance but the Model A stuff is all over the place.

Last time I was there I saw a number of Model A's for sale.

I agree that the Long Beach Model T Club Swap Meet this month is a good one. The San Fernando Swap Meet in the Fall and the Orange County Model T Club Swap Meet are also good.
