Best swap meet this weekend in PA?

[Rbeck204]

I have a chance to go to one of two events this weekend in PA. I am new to the area. Street Rod Nationals in York PA and All Ford in Carlisle PA. Which has the best swap meet for 40’s and 50’s Ford parts?

My experience with the All Ford Nats is that it's 90+% Mustangs and late model parts, there's usually lots of old parts at york.

Thank you.

I’ve been to both already. Carlisle on Thursday for set up day; and York today (Friday). There is one vendor at York with a lot of ‘40 Ford parts. Other than that, it’s hit or miss with a few dozen small vendors. Carlisle is loaded with Mustang and Ford high performance parts; but the sheer number of vendors at Carlisle means you’d be better there. Unless you want to see several hundred street rods (zzzzzzzz).

I, too went to York on Friday. A lot of vendors, but very little early ford stuff. Gary, from Delaware Had the 1940 ford parts. but other than Gary, it was slim pickings. I was in and out in about 45 minutes, which including shooting the bull with a few people. I used to sell at York years ago, and it was my best swap meet for selling all year. Now it was a waste of time to drive 1 1/2 hours each way just to be dis-appointed in the swap meet. Times are changing.

I went to York today. Spent a whole $65. Yep, sure has changed.

I completely passed on the York show this year. "These times they are a changing" for that show and for me as well.
