Both of those Chryslers are owned by Per.

I was just informed that Spring Fling for 2020 is cancelled. My life officially sucks now.

Who would think you could sell a musical instrument or vintage glassware at an auto swap meet?

This was my setup at the end of the day last year, after most of my stuff had sold. I forgot to post the picture.

Spring fling was today, but I didn't sell this time. I re-met a lot of good folk and purchased a bunch of parts, like usual. I picked up a lot of parts for the '59 Sport Fury, including a set of quarter panel trim, tail lights, and a broken horn ring. I'm hoping to figure out how to muggy weld two broken ones together to create one good one. I already have a good one for my car, but it'll be fun to try it. The cop car wheels work well on our cars that use 15" hubcaps, so that the slots are hidden. Not sure which car will get these yet, but I pick them up when I can get them cheap. One seller made me a deal on the driveshafts: buy 1 get 5 free. So that's how I ended up with so many of them.

Timo also came to sell parts in the swap, so I purchased a bunch of '57-'58 Chrysler parts from him. I was happy to learn that he reproduces the large back window for '57-'59 in case I am unsuccessful at cleaning the windows on my gold New Yorker. This picture shows my loot. :)

I believe his name is spelled Timo Tanskanen, but yes, the same guy. This was the first time he has come to this show, and he wasn't impressed with his profit margin. Except I sent Don from Oregon to purchase more parts from him, so that made him feel better about it. Carlo also came to the show and purchased parts.
