West Michigan Folks

Has anyone been to the Kalamazoo Winter Swap Meet at the Expo Center and Fairgrounds? This year it is on Feb. 7th and 8th. It is hosted by the K-zoo Antique Auto Restorers Club. Does anyone know if it is all pre-war stuff or is there a nice selection of '50's - '80's stuff too? I don't want to drive all the way there just to find nothing but Model A parts.

Thanks,

Yep, I've been there and it's OK -not great. I enjoy going to the swap meets around here but seems there's never much Olds stuff ( with the exception of the homecoming)

OK, thanks. I'd be looking for parts for my '78 Starfire mostly, so Chevy stuff is sometimes good for me as the Starfire and Monza share so many parts. I guess I'll put it on my calendar. Hopefully the weather will be ok.

Ditto what the poster above said- very few items except what Ashley Jones brings....

nothing Olds there except Ashley's license plates collections and a few odds and ends nothing 70's Starfire - at- all. Unless your after a key-ring.

You'd be better off going to a Chevrolet only swap meet (if theres such a thing) and looking for Monza parts.

Definitely older stuff at the Kaarc swap meet in February - Model A guys love this place- anything from the 1950' 60's and 70's stuff are plentiful for anything other than Oldsmobile.....let alone mid-late 70's Starfires.

been to this many times over the past 20 odd years. it never changes.

Ya, will be at Gibralter. Went last year and found very little. I think it used to be better when it was at the State Fair grounds, but maybe there is just less stuff to sell than there was back then.

Bens71442, so you are saying there are a lot of 50's, 60's and 70's GM (non-Olds) parts at the K-zoo swap?
