I'll be selling in space 30-31 (against the west fence), two spaces of A parts, sheet metal, E-28 parts, original 3X, tire valve stems, A tools, 50 years of collecting. Good prices! Hope to see you there. I heard this is the last year for the swap, the college is tearing down the stadium for parking and student housing. LRF

That's the last big parking area in LB - unless you count the Toyota receiving lot at the harbor which is the biggest. I can't see them inviting Ford guys in. Pier S parking is public and looks big enough, it's even on Henry Ford Ave.

It's moved around over the years, and some of the former locations are still around. Hopefully it moves to another location if the stadium does get torn down. Jeff would be the one to let us know.

It is NOT the last swap meet. Yes the stadium is being replaced with a new stadium and sports complex and we have to move, but we will still have our meet.

We are very close to securing Cerritos College for next year. We have held our meet there before and it is a nice space for us, and I will have confirmation by this years swap meet. We have kept our prices the same for nearly 15 years and are about the lowest of any swap meet around, however, with a new venue they will probably have to go up. We will keep them as low as possible, and thank everyone for their continued support.

There is a BIG BONUS though, Cerritos College is installing solar panels over their parking lot, so we will be able to hold all, or nearly all of our swap meet under the SHADE of the solar panels. That is worth a little extra cost right there!

Thanks Jeff for correcting me, I should of said "last swap meet at this location". The "T" swap meet IS the largest and finest in vintage parts. IMO
