Well the event is almost here again. I hope the showers hold off for Friday.

 

Supposed to rain. ��
Haven't been there in quite a few years. I hope it holds out for you Maniac, but it's not looking good..
Let us know how you make out. I'll be in South Jersey all weekend

 

Looks like the weather is not cooperating for this weekend. Weather changes everyday so lets hope for the best.

 

We'll see.

I plan to be there on Friday, if it's dry, and I may make Thursday for a quick drive-through.

I will give a report and as of now they say cloudy maybe a little sun an a chance of an AM shower so thats not a washout.

Eric, maybe see you there, dont buy anything not car related! ha ha (there is more of that there than car parts it seems)

 

Saturday seems to be looking better by the day.

 

Saturday is going to be 77* and sunny.

 

It was a damp start but showers mostly held off only putting a bit of a damper on the swap. For me the hunt is to locate Olds parts, not that I need much of anything. I did get a self propelled lawnboy mower for 20 bucks, 4 nice 67 spoke hubcaps for 10 each. I spent 10 for a group of Olds antennas not knowing what they exactly fit but some original stuff was there. My brother and I went in together on a box of stuff marked W30. Guy said he pulled them off a W car years ago and priced at 50 bucks. There were nice 442 and W emblems there, fender marker lights, dash gauges, heater controls a sport side mirror and 2 distributers. I thought possibly the dist with blue paint overspray could be a pricy W one but no, It codes out to a 71 455 2bbl or 4bbl not W30. Saw some misc Olds bumpers and trim, a set of 67 clutch and brake pedals. There was a guy there with pictures of many 65 and down Oldsmobiles for sale. One being a 64 Jetstar 4dr factory 3 on the tree. He had a cali 65 F85 coup pictured and some other 64 flull size and 62's and 50's. He was a great guy and an Olds fanatic too. Thats a wrap!

 

I wanted to go this morning, but the ol' man was convinced it would rain all day, so we stayed home and started to assemble a 1938 BMW motorcycle instead - not a bad day overall.

I'll be going tomorrow with the huge crowds. It'll probably still be okay, since today was slow and a lot of people stayed away.
