Haven't been to this one for a while and I decided to go and perhaps sell some of my art. Although the flier said 80 and older, I drove in and gave it a shot. My 2007 HHR Panel was let in and I saw a bunch of other cars a lot newer than mine. Since the HHR is a truck, I got a shady spot near the center of everything. I was within spitting distance of the DJ, so sound issues are not a problem for me. I don't see why they don't provide a cherry picker like they do for 3D Sound. That is an excellent way to get sound out and not worry about what people do to speakers out of the DJs vision. Food is nasty with a capitol N-A-S-TEE. I was smelling some good grille smells but obviously it wasn't coming from the food vendors near me. Kent's Big bars are good, but you can't eat ice cream only. Saw some friends I ain't seen in a while and even though I made no money, I really enjoyed the day. The featured model was Impala and there was a nice selection of them to see. One lonely 61 Biscayne was amongst them to give one some perspective of the difference. My faves were the 65 Marlin, stock Vega, the two Subaru 360s in the corral, the diesel powered 48 Chevy pickup, 59 Imperial, Pacer, MGB, Spitfire, Fiat 850, a black and green El Camino, 63 Buick hearse, 68 Wildcat.
Door prizes; I won a bottle of Wizard detail spray

The number of cars for sale seemed to be down a bit. The far lot that typically has +75 cars in it was basically empty (maybe more are spending their 50 bucks on an Ebay ad....).
Plenty of junk for sale and a few new national vendors were there too.
Wish they would get more choices Been the same for years. Big Bars are a MUST

The weather was nice for a change. Cars galore. Did not go to swap. Surprised at the amount of new cars on the show grounds but they are ok too. They really need better chow.Food is the big weakness at the show. BBQ sucks, Hot dogs suck burgers are gross. Thank goodness for Kents Big Bars. If you have not tried one you're missing something great.
Wow, doesn't sound like I missed anything by not going. In years past, I used to look forward to Jefferson in the spring. Nowdays I don't really care if go again or not. Its nice to walk around and check out the handful of good cars for sale in the corral, but the last few years I went I saw a lot of junk both in the corral and in the swap meet (nothing against used parts or the people that sell them).
I think Ryan is right, why drive your car to Jefferson and pay when you can put it on eBay for less than that?
Jefferson brings allot of cars, people and swap meet stuff together. The food has never been anything great. Weather this past weekend turned out much better than expected for the most part.
