From the Editor
To all the interested builders who could not make it to the
Chickasha Pre-War Swap Meet because of distance or other reasons, I
dedicate this “
Special Issue”containing all the pictures Dave Hughes & I took
of the line-up of vendors, various areas containing parts, some interesting
vendors booths, special interest vehicles & some complete cars that were for
sale.

Soon the selling began, vendors to vendors or anyone there that wanted to
buy early & the weather was cool & breezy but otherwise perfect …
At 4 pm sharp, the gates opened & the vendors rolled into the compound to
start setting up their booths…

up.
