Title: All Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle Pa. July7-9,2006
Post by: MRR41 COUPE on June 01, 2006, 09:09:57 AM
Has anyone been to this in the past, All the pictures I can find of this shows mostly  mussle cars of the 60's &70's. Do they have much from the 1940's. Is this a good meet for their swap meet area? Are there many part dealers from the early 40's , would it be worth my 400 mile trip?
thanks
Mike

It is mostly for the later cars. I have found some things for my '41 but I think you might be disappointed if you have to travel 400 miles.

I have been going to this show/meet since it started.? Very little before the muscle car era.? I found some stuff for my '51 but not a lot.

Both Carlisle and Hershey have fantastic swap meets in the Fall
These are two of the major swap meets in the northeast.
Lots of old car parts vendors.
People from all over the world visit these two shows.
The dates would be in the "Hemmings Motor News", "Cars and Parts", along with other various old car publications.

Jim, Bob, MoparDave
Thanks for the information, I don't think I'll make the June trip. I'll keep Bob's advice and go that way in the fall.
Thanks to all of you.

I used to go to Hershey and Carlisle in the Fall and while they do have many parts and they are probably the premier events in the northeast, you have to do a lot of walking to search for decent old Mopar parts unless you know what vendors you are looking for.  It has been a number of years since I went to those out of frustration, or maybe I am just getting too old to do all the walking!
