Default Early Ford V8 Swap meet Fitchburg MA 2017

We started a Facebook page Early Ford V8 Club of New England. Out date this year is April 23rd. Last year was one of our best turnouts as the field was completely filled.

Last year's swap meet & car show at the Fitchburg Airport was a really good one, with perfect weather. Here are some pictures I took there....

and here are a few more..... l love the old Flathead Ford V8's, but this little '72 "Badass/Badegg" Honda Civic hatchback was my favorite car at the show! I bought a new '80 Civic hatchback to use as an econo commuter and put an ungodly amount of miles on it. After many years and miles of service, I had thoughts of building it into a flathead powered hotrod like that '72, but my wife didn't like that idea at all

Hoping to be there again in '17

I hope to go again this year. It was a chilly ride out in the morning but the afternoon was perfect. The truck most likely won't make the meet. If the weather is nice I'll bring the Jeep again.
