Re: Iola
I had GREAT luck selling "A" parts. Started with a pickup load and sold 85% on Thursday, 14.5% on Friday and came home with a rear luggage rack and one SMALL box of unsold stuff on Friday afternoon. Slantwindshield

Re: Iola
I agree that the prices were very good. Like mentioned above, there were many more empty spaces than I have seen for the last 5 or 6 years, partly probably because the increase in swap spaces prices and the entry fee hike to $18. There has to be a limit to how much they can jack you fees and still keep the swappers coming. I bought a very nice early 28 frame that looked a smooth as a babies butt. It has a small bend near the passenger side motor mount, but over all a very nice frame formerly owned by Dave Cella.

Re: Iola
I was there looking for a 1939 transmission, 3 speed top loader or just a 28 tooth cluster gear. Did not have any luck. Found a couple transmissions, but I was to late, they were already sold. Still looking.

Next year I'll need to start walking a couple miles each day for a week before the show, so I'll be in better shape. I did loose 6 pounds in three days, so that's a good thing. |

Re: Iola
Tom, I did find Darrel, but he did not have any 39 transmissions. Thanks for the lead though.

Re: Iola
I had a great time also. Was able to find some interesting original parts and one NOS Lt Frt Fender. I agree that the vender space price and entrance price are going to turn off a lot of people. Without venders the show will die. But on the bright side a lot of great people. Jim

Chippewa Falls has a swap meet on Sunday, Aug 2nd. Coming up from Charlotte to get out of the heat. You should come to "AutoFair" in Charlotte, NC. The spring AutoFair is the largest swap meet in the US now. To much to cover in the time it runs. Still a fair amount of Model A parts, although they think they are worth three times what they are. |
