Moultrie Car Show

Today I decided to go to the car show and swap meet in Moultrie, GA.

Got up early and headed south on I-75. My dad and son (Randy and Jason) are with me. The drive took about 4 hours minus the brief stop at Cracker Barrel.

I am not sure how many acres the swap meet and car corral actually are but this thing is huge. In years past (before I lost the weight) I brought one of those handicap scooters because I could not see everything without it. Once we got here today, we only had about 4-5 hours to cover as much ground as we could.

Jason found a complete gauge cluster for his 69 Camaro for $100. The only thing it is missing is the clock for the center. I found a Matco tool man that was liquidating all of his inventory for 50% off because he was retiring. I probably spent too much money but it was such a good deal I had to. Right?

There are a lot of cars here and we will try to see most of them tomorrow. We looked at several today and while there are not as many cars here it appears that the prices are finally coming back up. If anyone ever wants to buy a muscle car , this is a great place to start. You can find cars at any stage of completion that you desire. Rust buckets to completed show quality cars. They are here!! Do your homework before you come. Everybody here thinks they are experts and I would estimate that only about 10% of them actually are. There is a lot of knowledge to be discovered, just bring your shovel 'cause it gets deep at times.

I also used today to reconnoiter some of the waxes and polishes that are being offered. Why? I am thinking about releasing a line of car care products aimed at some of the higher end show cars and production cars that we all drool over. I saw about 5 different companies showcasing their products. They seemed to be focusing on their metal polish products. The demo of choice seems to be polishing old fire extinguishers, quarters and the bottom of soda and beer cans. Most of them looked effective. I think that I will purchase some of them tomorrow and do my own assesment. I will put the results in a future post. I suspect that the demonstration is misleading and overly exagerates the capabilities of the product. Time will tell. I only saw one car wax demonstrtation and it was just a guy waxing a hood and he was talking about the benefits and longevity of carnuaba. I will get some wax tomorrow as well and see how they perform.
