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 and 19**
**Please Note:
The availability of the Swap Meet Grounds for Sunday, Sept 19th is contingent upon whether the Dallas Cowboys play at home or away. We expect to know by mid-April. If no Sunday meet, vendors must vacate the grounds by 7 pm Saturday. If Sunday is available, vendors must vacate the grounds by 4 pm Sunday, as in the past.
Change of Location:
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 more accessible for large trucks and trailers.
At this time new layout maps are being prepared. Until they are ready, our Registrars are not able to accept vendor's requests for spaces. Your patience is appreciated. Watch this space to know when we can respond to your calls. The rest of the web site will be updated as to entry times etc, when we know whether Sunday is a swap meet day.
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 170 +/- 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
NOTE: Gates open for general admission at 6:30 a.m. Friday. Pre-registered big-rig vendors are invited to enter at 3:00 p.m. Thursday until dark. No entry permitted before this time and NO SALES are permitted on Thursday.
We provide free admission
and free parking to the public. 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 5:00 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).
