Field dry - (like most everything else right now)
Lower Field (usual spot) about 90 percent full. Nobody in the upper field.
About 1/3 "Auto memorabilia." Half of that old (oil cans, 1950s era goodies) Half "new reproduction." Several "fuzzy dice" sellers.
About half the show is "post war parts." Want something for a big-block V8 and I expect they have it there.
No Model A Vendors but a couple or three of the "regular" used Model A part sellers. A smattering of parts spread out over the rest.
Selection ok - but mostly smaller Model A items. Couple of good looking gas tanks, lot of distributors, some starters & generators, and I saw the $3 Marvel carb. I've bought that there before.
I found a $1 Model A water pump - which turns and a candidate for rebuilding, and a $1 30-31 throttle linkage that needs work on the link connect to the steering column.
I tend to be a bottom feeder looking for the deals.
And a nice looking (restore-able) $50 Model A radiator shell for use on a truck when painted. No cracks, still has the burnished off "Ford" emblem center top. The seller made much of that but without the chrome it ain't pretty. As I said to him "You pop them out and after rust removal they fall out henceforth."
Maybe somebody re-plates these? I've always gone repop.
Warm day though. By 9 a.m. some were already packing it in.
