Swap meet etiquette / Luray

Made it to Luray on Sat. Beautiful weather and there were still deal to be found on Model A stuff. I ended up coming home with some goodies which my wife asked do you really need that? My answer was it wasn't that expensive and i don't have that one:)

Missed seeing you Jeff.
 
It was a good day. I brought some parts and sold more than I had expected. As to prices, I was looking to clear out some stuff I had, so I was very open to negotiation. I wish I'd sold more, but I was tickled with what I did sell.

Good to see folks out and about. The weather was about perfect.
 
That was a great swap meet. I had good time, made a few purchases, got the tee-shirt. I had no problem getting gas once I got out of eastern NC. I got a room just down the road from the meet. Took in Luray Caverns and their car museum. Stopped by to visit relatives in the Shenandoah Valley. It was really nice to get out after being holed up all winter due to the Corona Virus. I'll be there next year!
 
The museum exceeded my expectations. The automobile collection is 25-30 cars from about 1898 - 1932. Two A's and maybe five T's included.

The cars are in there pretty tight. I would have loved to been able to walk around the individual cars especially the curved dash Olds and the Ford Model "N".

Gary, you and Colin both need to put the Old Car Festival on your bucket-lists!! Up there, cars like the Model-N and the C.D.O. are open to up-close viewing without barriers, ...and even being driven around so you can see/hear/smell them being operated.

Other cool cars are riding around like Stanley's, the Quadracycle, the Sweepstakes, The Ford alphabet cars including Model Ks, Rs, Ss, and even a few hundred Model-As and AAs!! It is by far the best car show in the country as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. Old Car Fest up at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, is incredible. The sounds, the smells, the sights. Nothing else like it.

Also, neat to see the antique cars driving around when it starts to get dark out:)
