Well, the reason that I am posting this information about this automobile related swap meet is that a lot of vets that I have talked to in the past are either wishing that they still had the car that they had before, during and right after they were in the military.
Some are busy restoring thier cars or looking for one to restore.
Any way, this one is April 28th to May 1st.
It is located at the Texas Motor Speedway in Forth Worth, TX.
I guess that it could be used as sort of reunion spot for some of you.
I will be attempting to go there this year.

There is a $5.00 parking fee charged by the Speedway. There is a little more information below in the quote from the front page.
| Quote: | The 33rd annual Pate Swap Meet will be held on the paved surface outside the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, on April 28 through May 1, 2005. The Pate Swap Meet, one of the three largest swap meets in the country, has more than a quarter of a century history of auto swap meets and is recognized internationally for its diversity of automotive products offered by its vendors. Vendors from across the country will fill the vast acreage with everything automotive -- from cars to hard-to-find car parts and related items.
The Pate Swap Meet is the fund raising effort of seventeen Texas antique automobile clubs. The first swap meet held by this organization took place on the grounds of the Pate Museum of Transportation in 1973. This event grew tremendously during the 26 years that it was held on the grounds surrounding the museum. Changes in the long term usage of much of this property forced the swap meet to seek a new location. In 1998, the Pate Swap Meet moved to the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. These new facilities provide ample parking for all visitors to the swap meet, easy access to and from Interstate 35, unlimited space for camper parking during the event, and a vast amount of paved space for the swap meet to expand in the future.
