My son and I attended the FF this past weekend. Was somewhat of a disappointment. A friend that was selling stuff in the Swap said it was the worst year ever for sales. There were also fewer than four full rows of stuff - way down. Since Fall Fling was an addition to the Spring Fling just 21 years ago (I was at that one!), I would not be surprised if it vanishes soon.

But, it was good to see some friends, especially Chris and Terry Sherman. Thanks for the lunch Buddy!

I didn't go crazy with my camera, but here's a few shots I took:

Jerry's and my view upon arrival. The dry ground and empty spaces were quite common that day.

You'll probably notice the dinged front fender, but what the owner wanted everyone to notice was the factory, electric sun-roof!

I'm a sucker for wagons, especially old A Bodies!

Chris and Terry checking out a '62 300 Sport.

Ooooo, yes, I'll take one! Don't remember, but think this was an '82.

Nice '62 300. But, don't let the cross-rams fool you, this was not an H.

I thought these finned cars were placed right for a group photo.

Hope you enjoyed!

Think i,f seen this car in Bob Mosher,s shop a few years ago........?!
 
The Dart is a 1968......
round quarter panal lights and round grille lights...
Plus the dash is a '68 ....
Front fenders should have round side lights as well...

The blower drive is 8 mm however is only
on about 1/3 of the blower pulley.. Not so good
and especially at higher RPM .....

Kick *** car tho.... :)
 
Nice one, thanks for sharing the pictures.
I had a close friend who recently passed away with a DeSoto which was the polar opposite of the one pictured above.

Snotty is right that it was a bit down. Even on a good year there aren't really a whole lot of cars that I haven't seen though so anymore I go to visit with the people. The threat of rain kept people away even though it turned out to be a beautiful day.

It didn't, which was why I listed it as a '67. Not arguing, just explaining.
