Went there several years back. Showed up at 5:30 am, which would be late for a swap meet in CA and all the exhibits had tarps over them and the only other person I could find out and about was from Pennsylvania, had just driven over. Most were stirring around by 8:30 and it was a great show and I had a good time though all I bought was a couple of small parts. The bride wanted a Mustang being offered, so we went back to look. She'd missed a zero in the asking price, it was still there when we drove off to Calif. Good Times!

Dutie, I will be there, also. The quality of the Model A's at Rhinebeck is quite high. I will have my '29 Special Coupe there. I used to work with your wife at the Kingston Hospital years ago. I was in X-ray, she was in the ER. I know your car and it should have won first place. Nice car, nice lady. John

Re-post this at the end of April please.
If you see a guy sitting on the firetruck running board near where you drive onto the show field smoking a cigar with a cane, on Saturday. STOP and say "Hello", it'll be me.

Merry Christmas Mitch ! ! !

I usually drive to Rhinebeck each year. It takes me about 2 and a half hours to get there from Smithtown, Long Island. It's a large flea market, but doable in one day.

I am definitely going to attend this year.....Ive wanted to go for quite a while...but never end up going.
It's about 6 or 7 hours for me, from Ottawa Ontario Canada.
Now that I've started work on my '29 roadster...I'm sure there will be lots of stuff there for me

Is there a site that gives the exact dates?

I'm on the hunt now, for a good, straight passenger door....

Looking forward to May....
