The Ford Barn

If I went there I might get run over.

DavidG · 06-23-2022, 07:08 PM

Doug, I sure hope so (and I'm sure he does too). I'll be looking forward to seeing it then.

Not long to go now that we are in July. How time flies.

First I got a Swap Meet cancellation- NOW [tonite] I was assured that Monday from 12pm on in front of the hotel, the V8 Swap will occur !! There are a bunch of us die-hards determined that this event [even if small] will be some fun for us vendors. My prices will be CHEAP. A full size Transit van full. Newc

Wish I could make it, glad you are determined to have a flea market, one of my most favorite parts of a meet and seems to be withering on the vine!!!

I would like the answer to this also, please.

Wednesday would be the day to see them all in one place. I think judging starts at 9am and the cars are on the field until 3:00pm.

I have attended several National Meets as an unregistered spectator. I recommend going to the host hotel parking lot the evening before the judging if you wish to speak with people. I also go on judging day, but I feel the judges and car owners are focused on the process of judging the car and I don't try to bother the judges or car owners during this process.

Wish I could go but I'm going to have to show up at work for a few more years.

Kens 36 · 07-03-2022, 04:27 PM

There should be plenty of vehicles in the Coast Wenatchee hotel parking lot on days before concourse. But just a note that the concourse on Wednesday, July 12, is off site at Eastmont Park, about three miles from the hotel.

Digger · 07-12-2022, 09:19 PM

If anyone attending sees a ‘33 Air Cleaner or a set of 33-34 side curtain rods, please grab them for me and I will pay all cost plus a C note!

Old Redneck · 07-13-2022, 11:36 AM

Make sure you take lots of pictures for us to see. Hope someone take pictures of each class for us. Thanks in advance.Hope everyone has a nice time there.

Thank you very much. It was enjoyed very much. Keep up the good work.

Judge field was 5 miles away and two PU's quit on the way-did not make the field. Hard Luck went to Oregon entry that lost a radiator while driving to the Nationals [36 3w cpe] Newc

Traveling long distance in a Antique car today and a breakdown can become very expensive. Renting a car or truck the price is out of sight. Some places renting a car is $700 a day and even higher. So think twice before doing that. Just something to think about today.
