I flew up to Seattle to attend the swap from Houston area and to visit dear old dad aged 93 1/2 and mom 92. It was my first time to the swap. It seemed the older the car the fewer the parts. Bob Drake and Dennis Carpenter were there and H&H. Talked to Dennis. There was some once in a lifetime sunny Portland weather all day Friday! It was an older crowd.

I didn't buy any parts but did see some that were tempting for my 36 woodie:

36 steering column $60
36 bumper $40
42 square back spindles $100 a pair

-unrestored 36 phaeton
-unrestored 32 4 door
-Like new 40 American Bantam pickup
-restored 50 Crosley 4 door
-like new 55 Belair convertible
-unique 31 Model A pickup with indented firewall, steel roof and unique original wooden bed by Bud, didn't know an original Model A wooden bed existed
-several Chevy/Pontiac tin woodies
