Due to hurricane Ike we had a short swap meet in 2008. It seems that in expectation of the hurricane, there were quite a few early "lookers" and many vendors said they had a great day Friday. Ike pretty well wiped us out Saturday, though a few stalwarts stuck it out through Sunday. We'll pray for better weather in 2009.
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 September 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).
