The Jefferson swap meet continues to draw pretty large crowds too. People still looking for original parts rather than the junk reproduction stuff. The demographic doesn't seem to be trending much younger though.......

As for demographic, it's the same with most car shows and swap meets. Same people from the era of muscle cars and we're all getting old. My local Camaro Club hosts some shows for all year and make cars and then the younger genre show up with their rice burners and twin turbo, LS cars.

I was at the Monticello IA swap meet yesterday from southern MN. My son and my dad were with and we all bought stuff. It's a decent swap meet that isn't overrun with the flea market junk that clutters up so many swap meets.

I used to go to all of Gary Esse's swap meets as a buyer. Jefferson, Elkhorn, and I recall he even had one or two at Janesville. I still have friends from South Bend that make the trip several times a year to both Jefferson and Elkhorn. We would always buy spaces just to keep from having to carry everything we bought out the gate.

In Illinois, Santa Fe Speedway and the LaSalle Speedway (and drive in theater ) used to be two swap meet that were my 'must go to' list. I LOVE circle car swap meets. You never know what kind of parts those guys are gonna come up with.

Used to be a really good Swap for years down in Mass at the Great Woods Center.
After the Wu-flu hit, they never had another- the group that organized it went completely off the radar. I still miss the old Amherst, NH swap. The New England Dragway Swap took off as the new default when the owner of Amherst sold the property. |

I didn't hear about Derek hauling his "collection" down there. He must have been busy with Cale's new car.
