The snow is mostly gone. The mud is getting a little drier. The sun is higher in the sky. With the weather warming up you’re realizing the only thing holding that old bucket together was the ice frozen into the holes left by rust. All of it adds up to one thing. Swap meets all over the place! One of the biggest swaps out here on the left coast happens in Pomona. It’s no secret that we love going to any swap meet or junkyard, so it comes as no surprise that we rolled out to the San Gabriel Valley and forked over a few bucks to walk around the big swap in Pomona a few weeks back. Everything from mostly complete cars and trucks to disassembled project trucks with five-gallon buckets full of parts in the bed were for sale as long as you had the money. If you can’t find that Chevette horn cover at the Pomona Swap Meet you probably need to get another car, or get out there earlier. We’re still looking for one of those old school oil-filled dash compasses, as the one we picked up from the 99 Cent Only store reads exactly opposite of the earth’s actual magnetic fields. Maybe there will be a super deluxe at the next swap meet.
Check out the Pomona Swap Meet for upcoming junkfests, or head on out to the San Gabriel Valley this Sunday for yet another Swap Meet at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale from 6AM-3PM.
