How big is the flea market?

Cider Mill · 02-11-2016, 10:33 AM

Its different each year. Weve had as few as 4 or 5 vendors and as many as 15, but remember, they are all only Model A & Model T parts (1931 & older) only, so theres no searching through muscle car & post war parts if youre looking for model A & T parts.
Hope to see you there! Dan Beardsley

I sure hope to make it there this year. Last year was a medical mess, and I am hoping for a better year.

Is it just me, or isn't this the 6th annual?

Wow! A T&A era only car show and swap meet.

I haven't been to one of them since the '60s.

Around my area I don't go to shows because they are always about 99% muscle and rod junk.

This is a great event, really feels like a 1960's era event. I drag a trunk load of parts over every year, and always find something to take home. If you don't plan to drive your A or T over bring some parts! Thanks to the Beardsley family for hosting this event. Bob

I was at Dan's place Saturday for a gathering of the Fairfield County A's. Dan's love and passion for Model A's was obvious. We are lucky to have him involved in the hobby.

When I go through my parts before a swap meet I sometimes leave stuff home thinking it is junk and nobody will want it. If you are going through your stuff and have a useless 28-29 gas tank with a good firewall section please bring it along, or send me a PM with a photo. Thanks again to the Beardsley family for having this event. Bob

Cider Mill · 04-09-2016, 01:12 PM

You are right! It is the 6th Annual!

Dan,

Do you have a flier for the show? I have been talking up this event a lot lately, and it would be nice to have a piece of paper to hand people that had all the information. I would just print a bunch of them and keep then in my car for when I need them.

Thanks,

Ken
