This was a great meet! There must have been 100 Model A's, the weather was great and the people very friendly. I saw several instances of owners helping others make adjustments / repairs out of simple kindness. Also met several Ford Barners of renown (Mitch//pa, Terry, NJ and others).

My thanks to the Lehigh Valley, PA Model A Ford Club for a great event!

I also attended, with my son, we had a wonderful time, parts were very fairly priced and everyone that I spoke with was both in a great mood and very helpful, I learned so much about these cars and mine in particular it was a well spent day. Many of the cars were top notch and trucks were plentiful as well. Thanks to all that helped put this show on.

spinelli thanks for the nice pics...

the lehigh valley model A club outdid themselves putting on the meet today. what a great time, about 100 cars showed up and the flea market was jumpin. just about sold off everything we brought so everyone left happy. i probably met and mingled with at least 10 barners maybe more. Jim Brand was at it again doing his magic and also fixed up my bumper clamp..

Michael M it was nice meeting you also and if you need any help in your search just ask.

Brian Burkett your a class act,,, thanks for everything

Terry NJ enjoy your free parts

Hey! It was a great day in every way! Congratz to Nelson Chegesy and the LV team, Joe Mazinas, Jesse James Et al. Great weather! Lots of buyers! Lots of sellers! Lots of enthusiasm. A few non Fords just to spice it up a little (30 Lincoln, DodgeBros. 35 Plymouth coupe etc) I got a few things I needed at prices I could live with. I sold a bunch of stuff that was just in the way. However! It was a Model A day only for my friend Ron, He sold his Mod A Headlights and some other stuff (Mod A) but the rest of his stuff didn't sell (Mostly Lincoln) So if you're thinking of coming with a bunch of parts next year, If they're not Model A, I wouldn't bother.
I got to see Mitch // Pa, he was right behind me, selling his little heart out! Hey Mitch, Did ya sell that radiator? The one with just a little hole in it? LOL Mitch Did give me something, darned if i can remember what it was, It'll come to me later today. Anyway, It was shows are all about! Good day, Good sales, Good buys, and lotsa Great people!

I saw that white coupe, but didn't get a chance to look at it ,But let me take a guess and say it was an F head conversion. It looks like the intakes have been moved to the head, but the exhausts remained in the block. Just a guess! It must be "fun" to get and keep oil up there and get it back down to the pan.

I enjoyed the pictures, particularly the one of the long wheelbase 1931 AA Canopy Express that I owned for about 25 years and now resides in PA with Keith its current owner.

Question Re: Great Day in Hellerton, PA

Since we have a farm near Oley, PA I went to Microsoft Streets and Trips to find out how far away Hellerton is.

They only list Hellertown, no Hellerton. I assume they are not the same. Lehigh Valley shows to be only 38 miles away.

If I could make the day next year, maybe I could find a Model A to store in the barn.

Robert, There were a few for sale, Prices? Who knows. I wasn't looking. Make the show if it's anyway possible for you. There were several FBers who came and introduced themselves. It is a great little show!

I saw a couple of roadsters for sale asking about $29K. They'll probably be back next year.
