I had a friend just ask me to go to the show about a week and a half ago. He said it is as big as the January Turlock swap meet. I am considering it. he said the prices are good.

I believe this is the guy that used to run the Reno Swap in Aug. They have had it for the past two years in Aug. I have never been and I won't be around for the April show. Should be pretty good. Ted

It is the guy who ran the Reno swap meet. This is the first time they do it in the spring.

Roys show is in Fontana right? That's some serious driving to make it up to Northern Cali in a day.

I can never make it to the August swap meet. I'm planning to go in April and the August date looks promising.

Hey Matt, can I bunk at your place? smile

I did not get any phone numbers since It was my first show in Sacramento and I was trying to make it through the entire show. It took all day. 98% of the things at the show were car parts. I was told there is rarely any gas stuff at the meet. I will return in the fall to see if that one is the same.

I thought this pedal car was bad *****! I would have bought this if it had the steering wheel. He said just put any one one it, I wanted original.




2 huge bends in the sign


I was gonna buy this, but he would not come to a reasonable price so I passed

Matches my Headlight Adjusting Station sign:



N.O.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Came out of the attic of a station near Sacramento. Seller was an older guy who owns a demolition company and collected gas stuff. He had photos of the demo being done. Showed me photos of the before during and after shots of the demo. I jumped on this Chevron Shield sign.

Geez, maybe I left too early??? I missed the Chevron Travel Card and the Large Chevron Hallmark signs!!!! That last hallmark (chevron) sign looks like one on ebay a while back. Sure would have liked to have that, but probably too much $$$ for me... Thanks for taking pics!

Does anyone know who had this sign at the show? If anyone can put me in touch with the owner I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
