I’m looking for some prints as well as other random accessories. One thing I will say about swap meets (never fail) is that you always see something you would never expect. This element of suprise really adds to the fun, it’ll be interesting to see what suprises appear this year
The meets seem to be getting bigger and better every year, the sign of a growing hobby. Just look at the diecasts available, just about any model you can think of.

I have to tell you about the neatest thing that I found last year at Jefferson (Fall Show). I bought a mini cooler, that looks just like an oversized car battery and it is marked up with Delco decals and terminals. I spotted this item and looked at the price and walked off. The more I walked and thought about it the more I decided I wanted it. It took some time for me to find the vendor that had it, and then I didn’t see it. I was so afraid that someone had come behind me and bought it. The vendor had just moved it to another spot, so I bought it and carry it with me to the car shows.
For this year – I don’t know yet what I will be diligently looking for. Obviously, NOS Ford, Autolite, and Rotunda stuff at Iola.

MarshallI’d love to see that, sounds like a great accessory!!
Another part I am looking for is an electric antenna for my ’68 GTO. THe current one in it stopped working last summer. I will only buy a new one but I expect there will be a vendor at Spring Jefferson.
There is a swap meet coming up this coming weekend Sunday April 9:
30th Annual Swap Meet And Car Corral – Onalaska
Check it out on the car show calendar.
