Event Coverage My parts find at Hershey. What were your recent finds?

I got back last night from my first and hopefully not my only trip to the Hershey, PA swap meet and and despite the rainy weather, I did manage to find a few things to bring home with me. A good friend who goes every chance he get's called me a couple weeks before and invited me to ride along and since it's a pretty long haul from southwest Missouri to Hershey, PA, I jumped at the chance. Here's a list of some of what I managed to buy on the trip.

decent 30/31 model A roadster door
30/31 roadster cowl
32 firewall
(2) 32 cowl vent lids - one with hinge and hole
32 ford windshield outside header
32 ford front and rear bumper irons
30/31 cowl band
pair of nice guide headlights with new rings
one new in package Coker 235-85-15 wide white tire
31 model A gas tank filler strip
(3) 30/31 Visors
36 ford spare tire cover including ring
(2) 16" ford wire wheels and (1) 18"
new 55 chevy 2 door floor pan
several 49 ford dash knobs and window cranks
early oversize license plate frames
69 to 75 GM tilt column
Nice blue 1970 Honda mini trail 50
(2) new left side stampings of airplane pedal cars
old pedal car boat

I had planned on going and selling too but the last minute, my wife didn't feel well and decided to stay home and I didn't want to be tied down to the booth selling. Also, I was planning to sell a big part of my lifetime parts collection and I'm glad I didn't. I'm just not ready.

 

all that & no pics?

 

Hope you had a trailer to bring all that stuff home.

 

We set up and sold ‘41-‘46 Chevy/GMC truck parts. I got a chance to walk the fields on Monday with my wife. It was a nice day and about 25% of the vendors were open. Tuesday dawned a rainy day. Not a gully washer, but enough to keep many of the spectators away. Wednesday was much better, although there was drizzle from time to time all day. Thursday was a glorious day after a chilly start. Sales were steady, but not spectacular. Of course, Friday is all about the car show and very few vendors remain. Here are a few picture in and around my spaces.

 

Where wer you when I was working on a 46 GMC 3/4 ton?

 

I found a heater for my '40 Ford "woodie" and had a great lunch with Jeff "five-window". A great Hershey!

 

I didn't take a lot of pictures and several that I did take was something that I took to send to my wife knowing that she would like, so here's most of what I took.

 

Here's a few more pictures

 

Mo rust, thank you for the photos! Looks like you had a great time.

 

Good question. I’ve been hauling these parts, or others like them, since 1998.

 

We were pulling a 32 foot trailer but there wasn't much room inside it. We had the 32 in the pictures in front on it's way to Texas and a late model Jaguar convertible on it's way somewhere out west. All our stuff got piled in the back of the pickup at least three feet higher than the cab and strapped down. We looked like we were from a scene from the grapes of wrath.

 

Any story on this one?

 

Going to use this STOP light as a third brake light. Never seen one like it before. Found a spare window handle for my Willys, it was a perfect match, and I was going on memory alone. Got a duplicate of my first subscription Hot Rod for a dollar!

 

I was told that it was an old Indy car. I'll see if I can find out anything else on it.

 

Crazy cooool Indy car. F-Glass body. Laid over flat Offy

 

Thanks for the pics

 

@Nacifan thank you for the additional pictures. Interesting roadster.

 

It's actually a Pontiac mounted on a 45*. The guy said it was built to run Indy in '64 but wasn't completed in time, and by '65 everyone had gone to rear engine cars. They wound up shortening it up and running it as a sprint car for a few seasons before it was parked for good around '67.

 

Chris, I recognized your wagon.
