Swap Meet Gallery: The Spring 2012 Maple Grove Swap Meet


Swap Meet Gallery: The Spring 2012 Maple Grove Swap Meet

(Photos by Doug Garrison) – While lots of guys like to ring the “eBay killed the swap meet” bell, we’re not 100% buying it yet. Between the

and this gallery of photos from the 2012 Maple Grove Spring Swap Meet, out faith in the good ol’ swap meet remains strong. As you work through Doug’s gallery of 100 photos from the event held at the venerable PA strip, you’ll probably think about how much cool junk you’re seeing like we did. It is amazing how much gearhead stuff still lives in barns, attics, basements, and nooks around this country. To think that this event and the one in CT were only two of potentially hundreds happening from coast to coast last weekend really gives you an idea about how big the old car hobby is.

You’ll see lots of great stuff in this gallery from crazy expensive and rare Mopar intake manifolds to cool wheels, bikes, old toys, and race cars that look like they have lived in caves for the last 30 years. The fun of a swap meet is finding something you cannot leave without and then bickering/negotiating your way down to the price you think it is worth or that the seller will let it go for. It is as close to chess as rear gearheads get!

    ’bout time you guys found a swap meet that had some good parts, instead of just showing a lot of pictures of cars for sale. Gives me hope that there are some good ones still out there…..
