George originally joined in 1971, with a large car collection specializing in Packards.

By Keith Townsend I was able to attend the Chickasha Pre-War Swap Meet in Chickasha, Oklahoma this year for the first time and plan to return again next year. Covid-19 did no favors to swap meets across the country beginning in 2020 and current high cost of fuel has been a hindrance for 2022. According to those who know, there were probably only half the number of the vendors in attendance compared to years’ past. Although the vendors were few, the stuff was good! You will not find any chrome mag wheels at this Pre-War Swap Meet, but you will find booth after booth and table after table of rusty (and restored) gold! Wheels, rims, engines, bodies, fenders, chassis parts, you name it! The vast majority of parts were Model T and A, but there was a lot of Buick, Dodge, Maxwell, Overland, and other parts as well. And prices were quite reasonable. Since Yvonne and I flew from Portland I only bought a handful of small items, but I had the opportunity to talk with a number of people who I have befriended over the years. Some of whom I knew were going to be there, others who I was surprised to meet, and a few who I had hoped to see, but the stars just did not align. Oh well, next year. There were a couple of nice cars for sale: 1926 Model T runabout restored $10,500; 1910 Model T touring #24472 older restoration $21,500 1913 Model T touring #186235 rough condition $8,750. This Ruckstell reportedly sold for $300. All in all, it was worth the trip. Nice facility, nice people, nice amount of inventory, and no traffic jams! Since we have a daughter who lives only about 45 minutes away, I plan to go back next year!
