For Car & Truck Enthusiasts, a huge Automotive Swap Meet this weekend


An incredible span of cars and trucks — whole and in pieces — will be offered for sale this Sunday as The Connecticut Street Rod Association presents it's annual Spring Swap Meet. This annual event is in it's 39th year. It takes place at the Lake Compounce Amusement Park parking lot in Bristol, Connecticut.

For those of you who may want to set up to sell, Saturday set-ups are okay, but staying overnight is not allowed. The parking lot is lit and secure. Due to insurance regulations, no one is allowed to drive a vehicle inside of the swap meet area on Sunday, with the exception of approved CSRA people. CSRA will gladly assist anyone in removing parts from the swap meet area. They do this free of charge, but they will be accepting donations to support the CT Breast Cancer Research Fund.

I recommend getting there early, bringing along a cart or wagon and wearing warm clothes and gloves. It's still pretty cold at 6 and 7 a.m. these days! There is food available from various vendors. Oh... and bring along lots of cash too. I don't think there's an ATM around, and you'll be surprised at all you'll find!
