Had a great time today,,, bought and sold a few nice items and Nd managed to find a couple things myself,,, 1915 flashlight.couple pre 20s headlights,, and 2 bigbars.
Found a air cleaner for $10, a nice old metal turn signal switch $15, and a old Dodge hood ornament. I thought it would fit my 37 pickup, but it will not. What a great time.
I met up with a lot of friends and made some cool purchases (Model A parts). It was nice to get out and enjoy a car event after a long snowy winter.
The weather was great all three days! I ended up leaving around 10:30 on Sunday morning to pick up a bicycle in Madison and then the drive back to Central Illinois. I didn't get around near as much as I had wanted to but attempted to find Bobwop but he proved to be too elusive ....I hope he was able to sell off his inventory.
busier than crap talking to tire-kickers and nose-pickers. took lowball offers on an OT car all day Friday, then sold it Volo Auto Museum for $4000 more than the highest offer.
Had a great time BS'n with my HAMB brothers..one talked me into buyin his 40 FORD front fenders and a 35 pontiac coupe louvered deck lid...he's a great sales man I dont own either model!! but I only spent $55 SCORE!!!!
ahhh.. are you THAT guy who picked up those engines with the "$800/ea" sign on them?? I lucked out.. snagged a 1955-57 VW Bus tail light for $3 and sold it yesterday for $325... (yes, that is correct dollar amounts..) Heck of a show for sure.. Hadn't been there in 20 years (since I was a kid) and loved walking around the aisles perusing everyone's goodies.. I'll be there again later this year for the fun..
