Renningers 2011

Just back from Renninger's Model A show anf flea market. Still worthwhile but attendance was way down,presumably due to gas prices and a still shaky economy. I'm worried that we'll never see the days of groups coming from all over the Middle Atlantic states and spilling out into the road with no place to park. Anyway of interest was this Barn find roadster(made ihto a) pickup. The guy said he just bought it from storage since 1952 in Pottstown, Pa for $1200. He plans to keep it as it is. I've seen a lot of converted pickups but rarely cut up so high, there's barely enough structure to hold the seat.

Yup, saw that truck there. It looked like a lot of potential fun. It sure would be different! Yesterday was a nice day for a drive up in the AA, although we did run into a little rain on the way back. But I figure the truck won't melt :-)

Renningers was a very nice little local show. I met Ora Landis and almost bought that engine had. No inserts though, just babbit. I bought a number of small parts at the sale. Most of the priceswere very good. BTW What does Renningers sell in the way of parts? That garage/showroom seemed to have nothing but household stuff. Beautiful day! Great show! I got home early enough to get some work done on my T.S. Shows always get me fired up!

Looks like I went to the wronge show. More model A parts in those few pics then I saw at Carlisle. What town is this in?

it was a nice show and had a good time. the A's started leaving around noon so we drove around the country roads for a few hours before heading home. maybe tonight I'll clean the manure out from under my fenders...
here is an original unmolested Tudor in decent shape with 25,000k. received the marc preservation award

where was this? I completely missed it.

Looks like a decent tudor interior. Anyone know who was selling it and for how much? I might be interested.

Mitch,

On that 28/29 sedan delivery you have pictured, is that a window shade that you unroll when stopped for something? The reason I ask, is that I have a pair those that would be neat to use on my car if they fit. I figured that they are shades I just never saw them on a car-or even pictures of them on a car.
