Antique Cars & Parts Flea Market 40th show

On Sunday morning,I went to the HASC 40th annual Antique Cars & Parts Swap Meet and Flea Market held at the Int Centre in Mississauga.If the weather had cooperated it would have been jammed to the rafters. Unfortunately a snow storm the night before scared away some vendors and a few customers! Damn shame, I say. The parts selection was good and there were a few interesting cars for sale in the corral.
I liked the 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix in metallic maroon with black vinyl roof. It looked sharp. A pair of early post war Buicks looked pretty nasty and were likely good for parts instead of restoring. But the parts! That's what was great. I saw no less than three complete Chevrolet tripower carb systems from the late fifties for sale, a long block 1973 Ford 351 Cleveland and lots of related parts, all sorts of chrome and dress up goodies old and new. I almost bought a Buick tach from 1962.
Other stuff? How about complete NOS GM stainless steel door edge guards, tru five Chevy hood ornaments, 1950s Merc hubcaps and a running Model T touring ragtop in need of restoration?
Lots of vendors there including Old Autos, Lant Ins, Whetter-Oaklin, Graves Auto and scads of manuals, brochures, gas station memorabilia galaore. A very good visit and I urge you to go next time.
