I am trying to get a head count of anyone interested in going to see the collection so I can figure how much food/drink we will need. All are welcome. Please email me and let me know. Jmancino@aol.com Thanks looking forward to seeing you there. John

Im going to try to make it this year if I can, but right now the date doesnt look great for me. I dont have anything to sell, but would like to look around and buy SOMETHING! It would be great to meet some Oldgas guys there too. Anyone else going?

Dave.

this is my first time at the show and i have some questions

is the show the only thing to do sat from 7-1? is this a county wide show on the street fri-sun ?

Hi Tiller, yes there is a small town wide antique show in town. Also the town has a bout 30 antique stores in it,all within walking distance. Bring your appetite we put on a BBQ at noon. Its free. Hope to see you there.John

I'll be there. Keep me posted on what time you will be going to see the collection and what not Friday. I'll see if I can get up there in time.

I will be there on Friday and Saturday. Dan

John,why dont you tell everyone a little more about fridays deal and maybe more will come up for saturdays show.
you guys that are going on Friday will love this place,first class all the way !

Roc, what more can I say? We will be going to his shop and looking at probably the best car collection in upstate NY. He has a 50s style diner where we will be having some snacks,probably pizza/wings and refreshments. I haven't been there since he started building it.I have seen several of his cars. Have you seen it lately Roc?
Maybe you can add some insight.Thanks,John

John,yes been there before it's really something to see,gull wing mercedes,cobra,57 chevy,might have more than one duesenburg and many more as his inventory changes.he also has a new section he calls his barn find area.plus some signs & pumps.donr miss it !!!!!!!!
add 2 more for friday and Bradley needs a spot for saturday he said to put it on his account.see ya,rock

Great!! I have been getting a ton of calls,can't wait. Bradley has an account???? LOL

I have two fresh picks lined up for this Friday, totally new, never touched. I have no clue what I am going to find. Most of it will most likely be at the show, and if you have been there before I price to sell.

Looking forward to it. I plan on Friday and Saturday, camping in the van (not down by the river) with a cooler of cold ones.

Cold ones are good!

Hay Rock, I thaught we all had accounts.
John, How far is this collection from your place?
Sounds like a great time.

Dave it's about a 15 minute drive,we are gonna try to take some classic cars from here to there. You will be driving one of them.

John if I come can I drive your Roadrunner

JOHN,
YOU CAN DO IT IN 15 MINUTES FROM YOUR PLACE IF YOU DRIVE 210 MPH !!! IT'S 10 MIN. FROM ME.
BURKE,IF YOU WANT TO GET THERE FROM JOHNS IN 15 MINUTES YOU CAN USE MY 69 427 CAMARO........
JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE HIS DINER.HE LOVES THE OLDER 30'S CARS,SOME NEON SIGNS ,SOME FOREIGN SPORTS CARS,I THINK HIS OUT DOOR DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE IS FINISHED,PLUS HE HAS ONE INSIDE.BACK IN FEB.HE BOUGHT A 40 PACKARD CONV.HE'S GOT A BEAUTIFUL RED/BLACK BUGATTI IT'S SWEET.THATS IT FOR NOW.

John I WILL be there, put me down for 2 maybe 3 for Friday night, I'm trying to drag Paul, the Atlantic sign buyer you met at Carlisle with me, IF his wife lets him go.

Its getting closer! I have been getting a bunch of calls. On Friday if you would like to see the car collection please be at my place by 4:00 PM. Thanks John

JOHN,
so nobody will be at your place after 4 pm. and you know i REALLY REALLY like your stuff,I think a big truck and 2 helpers should do it !!!!!!

I have seen your helpers,you will need four

ha ha ha ha.....bring 10 and you couldn't haul it all!!!

i guess your right,John has a lot of stuff.It's always at good time at Johns place.

SO....LET'S SEE SOME PICTURES!

No pics but had a nice day at the show .. Didn't know anyone but met John and bought about a dozen cans and got a nice Kendall barrel for the garage. Not many pumps but lots of signs. There was a fry in a truck for 1500
Nice day and nice people

Tiller, to bad you didn't introduce yourself to people or at least inquire if they were on old gas.... I would have liked to finally meet you. John

John put on another great show.... I was there as a first time vendor. Had a great time. Thanks John for being a great host.

Had a Great time, Great show, Just got in, took the scenic routes all the way back home, turned a 5 hour trip into an 8 hour trip. Here are 1/2 the pics, will post the other 1/2 tomorrow.

Great Pics and lots of nice stuff! Thanks!!

And the rest of them.

And the Bar-B-Q after the show put on by John, Great Food

I took these while driving home, to show New York is not just a City

And lastly, I sign still hanging over a dealership in %$&*$%

I tried a lil conversation with some people but feel weird saying hey I'm Dan unless I knew they were on old gas. John where were u setup ?
I did talk to a guy that was a third gen Kendall dealer. I'll add some pics when I get home.

Thanks for the pics KZ ;;;;;;;;;;;Ron

thanks for the pictures also.

Well, I can definatley say a great time was had by myself.

The collection we saw Friday evening was mind blowing. We have to apologize to Gary for waking him up at who knows what time in the wee hours Saturday morning. I know daylight came very early when nochevys came pulling in next to me at 6am, but it was worth it. Found a great old hotel bar Friday night and had to make sure they stayed open as long as they could!!!

Great people, great conversations, and great hosts. It was fun.

Thanks again to John and his wife for hosting a awesome time.

Sorry, I was too busy socializing and selling to take any pictures.

I was a little slow getting out of bed this morning!!

Thanks again everyone.

Well said 59Fairlane, I also had a lot of laughs and a great time. Thanks John. PS The BBQ was excellent! Lou

We also had a nice time and as always good food and great hosts. Lenny

Looks like a great time..... Hope to get to the show someday!!! Thanks for the awesome pics, really appreciate the time you put in for the pics!!

Definitely a ton of great stuff to see out that way, thanks for the look see!!!!!

Wow- that Harley sign was really cool. I would give my first born for that one.

Who had the red and white Ford Tractor Service sign?

Anyone know who had the green and orange Tydol sign next to the Star Tires sign? Thanks, Chad

I was not at the show but I am pretty sure the Tydol sign by the Star Tires sign was in the spot belonging to the Case Brothers.

The Ford Tractor sign in one picture was my brothers spot, the three together in another picture were probably in John Mancinos spot

You are correct on both.

Looks like a great show, lost of incredible stuff!!!
