Very satisfied with what we found at Iola. Quite a few good parts for our
55s and some neat memorabilia. Lots of books at the Kruse book sale also!
Great deals there at 5 apiece for what ever came out of the boxes. Picked
up an extra copy of the Chrysler book and it occurred later that I should
have bought 50 for club members! (no one would have wanted them then
though!)
Parts dry up as the cars get older naturally. Fact of life. To me there is
more Mopar available now than in past years but have been doing this for 30
years now and remember when you almost had to explain what a Mopar was!!
Still not the favorite collector car out there but its mine anyway!
Always amazes me to see what you accidentally stumble on to when not
expecting. Picked up 3 55 Chryslers last fall all by accident but just too
cheap to pass up. I have a lot besides the forward look cars though so
always find something. Got some neat literature buys also. Have spare
55-58 and 59 Parts books available if anyone wants them as a result of the
weekend. (write separately if interested)
