Wow great flyer! I'm going to mapquest that location.
Nice to know that it is "rain or shine" . But for a little play on words it could read: "Hell er high water"? So sorry, I couldn't resist. Seriously going to mapquest.. Jeff

How big is this swap meet?
It would be fun to go to a new area. |

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
If I remember correctly, the show draws about 100 Model A's. The swap meet isn't huge, but it brings out a bunch of guys from our Mid-Atlantic area and there is a variety of stuff.
If I were coming to this area just for the show/swap, I'd say I'd afford a 3 hour drive. If I'd have other things or people I'd like to visit in the area, maybe it would be worth coming from farther away. That's my honest opinion. We have had several repeat participants who drove 6 or more hours, I believe. A lot depends on weather. I'm not a lead organizer of the event, but our biggest problem, I believe, is outgrowing the grounds where we host the event. |

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
Thanks for the heads up. I plan on going. I missed this event last year. I had sold a friend a belt pully attachment for his model A pickup few yrs back and I was told he was there last year grinding corn! How many years has this show/swap meet been going on?

Thanks Mike. I grew up in upstate New York, so I know that is a beautiful part of the country with lots to see. And the weather sure beats Minnesota weather.

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
My understanding is that the Hellertown show grew up to replace the old Renniger's show in Bird-in-hand, PA, which closed down several years ago. Havn't been to the Hellertown event yet, but used to go to Rennigers each year for many years. Sounds like they're about the same size, I always enjoyed the Rennigers show and would guess Hellertown is comparable.

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
Should I still be alive in late April, might try to get down to this event. Haven't been to an old car thing in at least 30-years. Figure too that the junk heap Model A sedan might actually make it back and forth. Time will tell.

You'll see some very nice cars and meet some nice folks. It's a fun step back in time.

I can't wait to go. I meet my son, look at great cars, have someone strong to carry parts to the truck, and in general have a great time.

Only thing is, the docs instructed me to stay away from powerful junk yard car hoist magnets, keep tongue off the 600-volt live third-rail and while down there, no riding the Times Square Subway Shuttle for at least three months. Otherwise . . . all else seems as normal. So, a 6-volt system vehicle drive down to Hellerstown in April will most likely happen.

Planning on going driving my February 1928 Tudor sedan, that was brought back to life after a 57 year rest . It has early everything. The original interior and car are like a time capsule as to how Ford produced cars.

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
Just think of how many of our "parts" have been changed, to keep us GOING!!! Last year, my Daughter, Cindy, had BOTH hips replaced!
The Dog & I wish we could go to Hellerton, just to see the FINE, OLD HOMES! Bill W.

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
There seems to be lots of interest this year. If the weather is good, be prepared for a packed field and tight parking. Fair warning... Plan to spend the day. You may be parked in. We'll do the best we can. Space was tight last year. Future events may have to be moved to a larger venue!

Mitch,
I think our officers asked after the first year but we were denied use of that field. I think I recall they don't want vehicles on that field. Brian |

Re: Model "A" Day, Hellertown, PA, April 29, 2017
Was wondering if anyone going to this Hellertown swap meet who may have a spare transmission for sale for a 1946 fordor. I'm in need of the 3 speed side shift. My 46 daily driver has a crack in the housing and a couple broken teeth on the cluster. I need whole unit. Message me or post so we can make contact, thank you
