The final Pomona Swap Meet of 2013 was yesterday at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona, and my son Cole and I decided we were going to go and walk the swap meet with our friends Crosby and Jay. While we were there we snapped some photos of cars and trucks and parts so that we could share our fun with all of you folks who’s car fun has ended due to weather. Just so you aren’t too jealous, I’ll let you in on the fact that it was only 34 degrees outside when we left the house, and only got up to 50 late in the afternoon. Certainly not freeze to death weather, but cold for us pansy ass Californians.
If you haven’t been to the Pomona Swap Meet, you have to put it on your bucket list. With over 2500 vendor spots, and miles and miles of car corrals, Pomona is the biggest 1 day swap meet we’ve ever heard of. We walked every inch of the place and honestly should have taken a thousand photos, but we were too busy looking at all the cool stuff. If I had taken photos of it all we would still be there trying to get through it.
Here are a couple of our favorites.
Cool. I’ve been listening to 93.1 JackFM online at work and heard the swapmeet was coming up. I was wondering with Scott out east now if we’d get any swapmeet coverage.
Whats with the long pants? Isnt that Cali? 50 is like tropical dude . Sorry man just couldn’t let that be. All great goat owners know the only wear that goes are shorts.
Did anyone else notice the interesting 72 Monte Carlo convertible? Nicely done.
Did you see the 2-8-8-2 Big Boy steam locomotive by the drag strip staging lanes? It will be restored to operating condition by the Union Pacific Railroad.
BTW, I consider the Pomona Swap Meet the birthplace of the “churro”, as it was the first place I had ever seen one about 30 years ago.
I want the black Buick…….and the Monte rag-top.
So who’s butt was dragging after walking the 40 miles, Chad’s or Cole’s?
