The Pomona Swap Meet !
This was the April 22, 2001 meet

   The Pomona Swap Meet is at least a 30 year tradition in Southern California.  It's held almost every  month at the Los Angeles Country Fairgrounds in Pomona-- which is also the site of the Winston Drags and many other momentous events !    This swap meet really takes in everything. They have 100's of vehicles for sale _ there is at least an acre of Corvettes, plus all the rest.  They have the swapping sections divided up by Makes--There's Chevy Row,  Fords,  VW's etc because it would be impossible to find what you were looking for if you had to hunt through the whole meet.  They say that if you walked every row it would total over 35 miles !  The whole thing starts with the Set up day on Saturday and only the vendors can get in on Saturday--but there is a considerable amount of selling and buying going on the whole day and through the night too.  Then on Sunday at 5am the public gets in--the Freeway offramp is backed up with all of the Car Guys--each with a mission of their own�.. That Part That They JUST Have to Have !  The really funny thing is that by  2:00 on Sunday afternoon the place starts to empty out at a fevered pitch. And by 3:00 there's virtually no one there !   It's a Short But FURIOUS buying frenzy !

In Case You Can't Read It--The sticker on this car is   $3728.

This Old BMW  Isetta would be a scary ride in LA  traffic !
