The 42nd L.A. Roadster Show, Trade Show, and Swap Meet

If you're into modifieds this one was drivable and came with plenty of patina for 16.5 grand.

It's amazing that cars like this continue to show up. This surprisingly solid '32 Ford roadster sold for $38,000.

How'd you like to peek inside an old garage and find a '34 Ford cabriolet? Somebody did and it ended up at Pomona.

Like we said, '32 Ford parts often carry a hefty premium. This chopped three-window body was offered for $40,000.

Compared to their later counterparts, Model As are much more affordable. This roadster was complete, certainly savable, and carried a $7,500 price tag.Not everything cheap is a buy. A good, solid example could be found for much less than it would take to fix up this $3,000 sedan.

Then again, sometimes there are diamonds in the rough. This T cowl and turtle deck were pretty solid and would have been a great find for someone with the rest of the parts to build a complete body.

Some swappers come from a long way away. This Deuce five-window must have come from fantasyland.

Someone somewhere is probably looking for a '27 T pickup bed. This one had a $500 price tag.

Searching a swap meet is a little like prospecting because every once in a while you strike it rich. The finds here are a Howard five-carb manifold for a GMC inline-six and a Riley head for a Model A.

How many parts are in this collection that you would like to take home? Maybe a quick-change, a pair of chrome Chrysler Hemi rocker covers, or an original Eddie Meyer intake manifold for a Flathead? It was all up for grabs.
