There is only one Pomona Swap Meet. Walk every single row of parts AND cars and you will walk about 35 miles. I average 20 miles each time we go and sometime get near 30. Parts, cars, trucks, bikes, toys, accessories, tools, you name it and you’ll find it at the Pomona Swap Meet. Another cool thing about Pomona is the party atmosphere. In the car corral there are tons of cars for sale in the first few rows and then the rest starts to get sprinkled with car show and sale cars which means that lots of folks are grilling, cooking tacos, drinking beer, and hanging out with friends, car clubs, and family. It is a real event, not just a swap meet.
Since we weren’t selling this weekend, Crosby, Jay, and I met at the shop at 5. The two of them had been out the night before dropping off Jay’s trailer with an amazing barn find 1965 Chevrolet C20 on it, so I was tasked with driving Jay’s dually while he rolled in the awesome 1964 Tempest Lemans he was also selling and Crosby drove his El Camino. On the way home I got to drive the Pontiac, and it is a good thing I’m poor or it would be my daily driver. Like right now. I am in love with that car.
We walked around and looked at parts for a while and then got on the task of shooting photos and drinking beer. Our pal Dannie Pinard also hung out with us and was my co-pilot for more of the photo taking, laughing at me every time I got excited about something else that I have no business owning. Dannie is well known for being the voice of reason. Damn him sometimes!!!
