Being at the Detroit Fairgrounds swap meets in the late 70's and early 1980's saw a lot of unusual prototype and one off Chrysler, GM, and Ford items, along with the more mundane stuff. Those guys must have had huge lunch boxes to get a lot of that stuff out of the building. The stories of semi drivers stopping off at certain peoples shops on the way to guard patrolled salvage yards would perk up any gear heads ears. A magical time, to say the least. Wish I would have bought everything I saw.


July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.
