This week is the Spring Carlisle collector car swap meet. I happen to be living in Carlisle, PA this year, so I was planning on spending a day there. Does anyone know of any Model A Vendors or folks planning on selling stuff there?

Mac's won't be there, but there are quite few Model A guys, as well as a lot of folks with miscellaneous stuff and old parts. Surely worth going, and yes, it's not like it was. See you tomorrow-wear good shoes, bring water, layer up clothing and smile.
 
I did a quick walk through tonight before the rain hit... as everyone was covering stuff up. Tons of stuff... but not necessarily stuff I need or want.

There was one guy selling Lucas tires for $99... but I don't think I want Vietnamese tires on my truck...

I'm also looking for other stuff... non-model a type stuff.... like Shell fuel cans, old 12" wire spoke wheels. VW type 1 cooling shroud sheet metal, and model a stuff like a pair of wings for my moto meter, a Walker A-17080 jack & handle, air pump... stuff like that.

anyway... I may get back out Friday morning...

We drove up from Virginia Thursday night and spent 9 hours walking the grounds on Friday: I bought a turkey leg and a sunburn, and some stuff I didn't need. The weather was beautiful and the wife and I had a blast. Lots to look at in the car corral too. We'll go again next year even tho there was not much A or T stuff, and even less Hudson stuff.

You'd best come to Hershey in October,then.
 
Perhaps the All Ford show in June will be better.

There was some A stuff there... just had to dig around a bit...
 
I was able to get a real nice set of 28-29 front fenders(left one welled , right one not) for a good price . One had original paint and will need very little work to go on my A . I believe it came from a Hot-rodder.
 
I was looking for Chev and Chrysler stuff ( 30's ) and it was non existant. Model A stuff I found to be scarce ! My last trip I think next year I will skip Carlisle and just wait for Hershey !

I can't wait for Hershey. I went looking for A parts for customers and couldn't find any of what I was looking for.
 
I vendored Carlisle and Hershey back to back 1 yr and sold $400 at Carlisle and $3000 at Hershey,you think i would ever go back to Carlisle again,no way Jose,just a waste of time. ken ct.
 
I skipped Carsile and went to a auction in Sims N.C. I broung back 30-31 Gas tanks,26-27 gas tanks. Nos drive shaft tube,running board splash shields for a 30 so nice they could pass for new. 26-27 T Frame with wire wheels very nice (200.00)
And a roll around tire rack with a few tires. New ring gear and pinion (T) (11.00)
New cluster gear 20.00, 29 rpu windshield frame, And boxes of New repo parts.
