I went last month. It was good... but I didn't get to spend much time in the VW/Porsche section, because my friend was looking for muscle car crap

O' Dark Thirty early is good for me.
I am 99% sure I will be there.
I won't be able to leave Vegas until late Sat PM or early Sun AM.

I have been thinking about setting up a booth out there to hand out sample copies of the magazine? Been worried that the show isn't big enough for me to make the 10 hour drive out to SoCal.

Any ideas?

The Pomona Swap Meet is HUGE. The only problem is the VW/Porsche area isn't what it "used to be." However, there's still quite a bit of stuff.. and a few surprises all around. It's the typical "you never know what you're gonna get" swap meet scenario... the cars for sale area is usually pretty interesting... there's quite a variety. I even saw a couple of teeners out there last time I went. If you guys are realy looking to go... let me know.. maybe I'll have a running car by then!!!

SUCKS!!! Pop's b-day is today, so I can't make it. Will be at the next one.....

Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 15 2006, 10:25 PM

The number of buyers and sellers at Pomona was rather small this time. That didn't stop me from having fun. I went with Joe and Linda. We saw Elliot, Daniel and Mike's car. The only things I bought were an old porcelain street sign and a bunch of Mexican license plates.

The guy said these were called Shelby Talladega's and came off a 280Z.
They looked like 8 spoke Fuchs to me.

In addition to Mikes nice orange 6, there were 2 other teeners in the Porsche area. A nice original green '75 for 4K, and another one with fiberglass repairs to the longs.

As I was leaving, I wandered out via the car show area. Something caught my eye a few rows over in the hot rod Chevy area. I went over to investigate, and found this.

On the way back home I stopped for gas in Barstow.
It was getting kind of warm so I got an ice cream cone too.

Gee. I hope nobody from further north is reading this thread.
I wouldn't want them to think I was teasing them about the weather in January.

Since Pelican dropped it's participation and Chip Evaul died....Glenn & I no longer participate in the Pomona Swap Meet....to much money, to early in the AM, to cold, to hot, not enough sales to warrant the trip.......

Posted by: Flat VW Jan 16 2006, 11:16 AM

Ron is proof....

The internet killed Pomona....

John

P.S. Ain't no substitute for seeing what one is buying with one's own shocked[1].gif
That Pomona thing is cool, though.

The scale of it, (all cars) is amazing. If the weather over there had been better I might have gone this time.

Posted by: SLITS Jan 16 2006, 11:36 AM

JOhn......did you or Jim get my message over the weekend? Have your cell number..but not the one you actually answer.

Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 16 2006, 11:40 AM

No messages on my phone. I forgot and left it in the van.
I do answer that phone . . . . . when it is someplace I can hear it ring.
