Swap Meet
October in Minnesota means it’s time for the annual Twin Cities Roadster's Swap Meet.
This year marks the 52nd year we have hosted this event it will be held on Sunday, October 1st. Again at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. All gates open at 6:00 A.M.
Remember, it’s Minnesota and “mama” just reminded a lot of guys that her car IS going to be parked inside this winter so “get that —- out of here”.
This is one of the few remaining traditional automotive swap meets where builders and restorers can still find some early car parts and typically at reasonable prices.
