Topic: Portland Swap Meet

This evening I've been preparing for the Portland Swap Meet. If you have never attended you need to add it to your bucket list. I hear this is the biggest auto swap meet this side of the Mississippi. This will be the third year I have shared a seller's spot with Terry and Bryan. I don't have much to sell this year, but it is a blast just being there! Cars, parts, junk, and people all the way around Portland International Raceway! Incredible!

The Portland Swap Meet has come and gone for me. The swap meet is a total experience, not just a good place to seel stuff.  Thanks so much Terry for sharing your seller's space with me! I had a lot of fun hanging out and seeing everything there is to see!

Here's a few pics:

This Ford Econoline is a Portland Swap Meet Icon, and one of the most popular vehicles there! Terry receives compliment after compliment on The Ol' Trapper!

Re: Portland Swap Meet

Mr. Bill! I'm glad you want to hang out at the meet. It is a great place to get ideas for a project or just meet other gearheads. Between Econoline lovers and slot car fans I talked to a lot of people. smile
