Would it be worth the 4 1/2 hour drive?

Its a great small meet - all good stuff. No gutter salesmen, beef jerky, Jewelry etc. Much like the swap meets in the old days. I'll be there with my restored Ford generators.

A video of the meet from last year is on YouTube. I've met people who came from Florida, Texas, Michigan, California. K.R Wilson tool show up every year. Nos A & T parts show up. Sheetmetal,wheels,
Frames, blocks,rears,seats. I believe you could put together a model A or T from all the parts.
Early Flathead parts are showing up more. Can't forget the Scrap pill in the corner, we drop off stuff and they sell it for the VFW. Then my 1$ table, all good stuff like model A hub caps, brake parts, water pump bodies.
The area of Luray is nice, food at the meet is very good. Nice restrooms and a pavilion to sit and rest,eat or just visit.

I'll be there Friday! Most of the members of our club are planning on attending.

Wick · 03-26-2026, 05:11 AM

People will show up Thursday afternoon about 3pm and start picking. On Friday If your a vendor, grab breakfast and coffee before 7am because buyers show up at 7am and 8am on Saturday.
Also if you buy alot or buy heavy stuff you can drive in anytime and pick it up.

Does anyone have four or five 1935 16” wheels that they plan to bring to the swap meet? How about some cast iron front or rear drums?

I have some I'm bringing.

rackops · 04-06-2026, 03:19 PM

I've got a full set of cast iron drums I'm about to list on eBay. They came off a local Model A that got rodded.

shew01 · 04-07-2026, 05:12 AM

I’m also looking for a 1931 Zenith side bowl carburetor (rebuilt or rebuildable).

I need one more rough, pitted 28-29 wheel to complete my set for rolling a project around the garage. If someone has one you weren't going to bring because its far gone to be of any interest, bring it anyway, I can use it.

pkhammer · 04-18-2026, 06:30 AM

I'll be there with lots of A and T driveline/transmission parts (cases, gears, etc) A HUGE $1 box on my doodlebug (about 5'x5') and lots of misc. A friend is bringing a late '31 indented firewall model A body and related parts.

Are you still bringing the drums? I'll be there by 10 at the latest. Hopefully they'll still be there.

Wick · 05-07-2026, 05:35 AM

I'll throw a couple of side bowl carburetors and a rough 21" wheel into the trailer.
