It was good to see you too Doug. Lucas Classic Tires is housed in the same building as The Early Ford Store in Springfield, and are part of their operation. They have a west coast warehouse as well, but they are based right here.

so did any 1 go today how was it...going in the morning would like to know if it is worth my time Question

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but it was worth both the time and money for me. I found a 1946 license plate, a 1947 registration window decal, a set of glass blue dot taillight lenses, and a set of 600-16 bias ply wide whites. First swap meet I have ever went to and found everything that I was looking for! As a side note, there are four swap meet areas, be careful not to miss one.

It was a good swap meet. I was limiting myself so I didn't get a whole lot but If I wouldn't have budgeted I would have left spending thousands. I hate self control! Sad

Who is the genius in charge of marketing at Coker Tire? Why would you send your organization to a spring swap meet without anything to sell?

aparently the rep you talked to did not know what he was talking about,they had all kinds of stock the red line tires we were look ing for was sold just before we got there.The rep we talked to said " that if the scroungers could come up about 100 names that might be interested in tires that don't mean they have to buy tires that he could take it to his rep and get us a discount on tires!

That wouldn't be a problem. I can get you the names if you want to do the leg work for the discount. It would take me a few days to get them all together but 100 names is no big deal.
