 Larry Riches visited last weekend's pre-war swap meet in Chickasha, one of the better kept secrets of the US classic car comunity. Possibly because it's hard to get there when you don't live in the US. And even when you live there - unless your house is in Chikasha - it's a looooong trip. To have an idea, the trip Hershey to Chickashee is soemthing like 1350 miles. Great if you just have traded your mule for a Beetle, but otherwise. Larry reports: "I was there, great weather. I thought the attendance was a little smaller than previous years, good selection of model T's for sale and usual spread of parts, one possible London Brighton car a 1902 Dykes car, wasn't all original, was fitted with curved dash Oldsmobile front and rear axles, so dating may have been a problem. About 20-25 Ford model T's for sale in various conditions, quite a few visitors from the UK, hope this helps it was a brief report." Larry has a special interest in Model T's as he is preparing for the Ford Model T run for prostate cancer in May so we forgive him for being short. For those who don't want to miss the Chickasha pre-war swap meet 2015, the dates are set. |
