Event Coverage Who's going to the Englishtown swap meet in NJ??

Who's going to the Englishtown swap meet in NJ?? I'll see ya there! ~E

 

I'lle be there Friday with my dad and my daughter in tow

 

Can someone who's been there before give a newcomer some tips? Parking, best way to get there, etc. I'm going Saturday, I know it will be crowded but work calls.

 

i was there today will be there all week -end selling junk and buying junk

 

I went last year, wasnt that good...lot of junk to dig thru....just my opinion...still fun anyway.

 

Be there tomorrow. At least the weather's supposed to be decent (not like last fall!).

 

no longer a swap meet, it's now a flea market. more people there selling bicycle parts and kitchen gadgets than car parts.

 

Great. I let 2 of my friends talk me into going to Etown, instead of Carlisle. I need wheels & tires for my A. Will be there Friday.

 

ill be there sunday. Have too much work saturday and i could use some exercise and rest so im going there to walk of my winter weight.. lol

 

I have done well getting odd parts at Englishtown for tri-fives ... there are jerks selling Chinese knockoff junk which makes it a long walk around and through ... Joe

 

That place disapoints me. Used to find good stuff/bargains, but now a lot of broken junk. Alot of vendors gave up and go to Carlise instead. Yes like you said "flea" market.

 

I've gone for the past few years but I have to agree that I am disappointed............can find the stuff I need on ebay or the Pontiac sites I frequent althought I saw the '64 Tempest I bought 2 yrs ago at Englishtown..............

 

I have about 20 yrs under my belt there, and have seen the long slow slide downhill. 'Flea market' nails it pretty well, tho there's still the occasional find that'll surprise you. I haven't found anything for my '59 in the better part of 10 yrs there, tho.

 

Update. I saw plenty of good stuff there this weekend. Juice brakes rear plates for $40 with all the hardware. A bunch of straight ford axles for $30 each. A 46 front end complete with brakes and bones for $150. All that and a bunch of other stuff. I'd say some really fair deals. I scored some Model A factory spring u bolts (front and rear) and clamps and a juice brake grease catcher, all for $3.

Also ran into a bunch of Hambers while I was there so it was a great meet and greet as well.

 

Oh, and Dirtiest Devil told me about the "culver city" Halibrand rear end he just missed for $250. And the 3 perfect 16" KH wires for $50.

 

Mike:

That Halibrand quickie will go down in history as one of the all time great sap meet scores.

I hope PA Gas posts a picture of this ellusive beast.

 

Is that who got it?

 

Yea, I saw Mel there....he was telling that story to everyone....I saw alot of Model A stuff....and if your into Schwinn's, its really good....I picked up some things for my sons hot rod wagon Im building...pics when its done...~E
