HELD AT THE RANGERS BALLPARK IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS
FORMERLY KNOWN AS "AMERIQUEST FIELD" & THE "BALLPARK IN ARLINGTON"
THE 2010 MEET DATES ARE SEPTEMBER 16, 17, 18
(THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY)**
**Please Note:
START TIME: There is a baseball game Wednesday evening so we will have to do our swap meet set-up Thursday morning. We hope to open the gates to vendors no later than noon Thursday for their set-up and sales. The public is welcome to enter anytime thereafter. The gates open at 6:30 am Friday and Saturday.
EXIT TIME: The Dallas Cowboys play at home Sunday, Sept 19th so the swap meet will end Saturday evening. Vendors and the public must vacate the grounds by 7 pm Saturday. (The football "Tailgaters" start showing up Sunday morning at 7 am so we have to have everything out of there and the place swept clean Saturday night).
Change of Location:
The new layout maps are ready and our Registrars now are accepting vendor's requests for spaces.
We are moving back to the Baseball Stadium Lots A, B and C where the meet was held in 2006 and prior years. Lot A has been resurfaced and all islands/partitions removed. Lot A is now very accessible for large trucks and trailers.
REGISTRATION PHONE NUMBER IS 940-271-1005
Established
in 1968, we are the oldest, continuously run swap meet in Texas dedicated to the
old car hobby. The meet is held each September at the Rangers Ballpark in
Arlington, Texas.
OUR
LOCATION
We are conveniently located less than 1 mile off Interstate 30 in Arlington, Texas, between Dallas and Fort Worth. For directions click here. There are several hotels and motels within a short distance. For motels offering swap meet discounted rates click here.
VENDOR
SPACES & REGISTRATION
The venue is in a parking lot, so our vendor spaces are approximately 9'x18'. We have approximately 3,000 paved spaces available (none too shady) including a Car Corral with 200 +/- spaces. Pre-registration price is $35/space thru July 30th and $40 thereafter and at the gate. For a pre-registration form click here. For large tractor-trailer rigs, please call first. We have a contract food concessionaire, so no food or drink vendors please.
WHAT WE
PROVIDE
We provide free admission to the public but there will be a nominal charge for public parking collected by the Ballpark. For vendors we provide an all-paved venue for the sale or trade of old cars, old car parts and automobile related items, including antique and classic cars, special interest cars, street rods etc. We advertise heavily in hobby journals and magazines and also in local and surrounding area newspapers. Security guards are on duty 24 hours a day. We have a variety of food concessions on site.
NOTE: Everyone must be clear of the swap meet grounds by 7:00 PM Saturday. For a complete listing of our guidelines click here.
We are local area antique car enthusiasts, motivated to keep our old cars running (and to further the hobby in general) by creating a forum where old cars and parts are made available for sale or trade. This is the only swap meet held at this location that is sponsored by Dallas/Fort Worth area antique car hobby clubs: Antique Automobile Club of America (Texas Region), Dallas Model A Ford Club, Horseless Carriage Club of America (North Texas Regional Group).
