"CARLISLE - FALL 2006 BY: DOC @ THE AMERICAN GARAGES

TOOLING ALONG FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE TRIP AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP:



UNTIL WE GOT JUST OUTSIDE THE SHARTLESVILLE EXIT WE HIT THIS:





AFTER 1 HOUR OF THAT WE WERE DETOURED OFF I-78 TO ROUTE 22 WERE WE SAT IN MOSTLY STOP AND LITTLE GO TRAFFIC. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO 35MPH!



MUCH LATER THAN ANTICIPATED WE FINALLY ARRIVED AT MEL'S DINER IN LEBANON,PA. OUR FIRST TIME BACK THERE IN ABOUT 10 YEARS!



UP NEXT: INSIDE THE SWAP MEET!

WE FINALLY GOT TO THE SWAP MEET AT ABOUT 11:30AM (FRIDAY)....OUR LATEST ARRIVAL TIME EVER! HERE ARE SOME SIGHTS FROM THE 1.5 DAYS WE SPENT THERE:

AN OLD GULFPRIDE CAN RACK:



SOME NICE SIGNS:



$575 ON THIS CLEAN TEXACO. I PAID ABOUT $405 LESS THAN THAT 7 YEARS AGO ON A SIMILAR COND SIGN:



A REALLY ROUGH MOBILOIL BOTTLE RACK:



AND A PRETTY NICE MOBILOIL LOLLIPOP SIGN:



STILL MORE OF COURSE!

THIS GUY IS ALWAYS THERE SELLING OLD BODIES AND DOORS, FENDERS, ETC:

THIS SELLER HAD A VERY IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION OF "FOR SALE" PEPSI PIECES:

A VERY NICE SUNOCO OIL BOTTLE RACK:



SOME OLD ROUGH TOY TRUCKS:



A NICELY RESTORED BENNETT DONE TO AMOCO MINUS THE GLOBE:



KEEP GOING.....THERE'S MORE!

I WALKED PAST THIS SIGN AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR 45 MINUTES AND WENT BACK TO BUY IT...WAS THANKFUL IT WAS STILL THERE:



IF MY POCKETS WERE DEEP ENOUGH, I'DA BOUGHT THIS ONE TOO:



THIS CRATED SHELL SIGN MISSING THE NEON WAS "SOLD!"



A NICE MOBILOIL THERMOMETER (MINUS THE PEGASUS...IT WAS SADLY FADED!):

MORE TO COME......

Thanks, Doc. That was almost as good as being there.

Was that 925 bucks on that Gulf double? Seems high... Would have thought 450 or 500
