Charlotte Auto fair
 

Well just got word from Charlotte motor speed way. April autofair is canceled yet again this year because of the restrictions NC has in place.:devil:


Looks like 2021 isn't going to be much better than 2020 was from a auto show point of view anyway!:chevy:

Looking forward to it, only went to 2 last yr. Always enjoyed the show and trip down. Hate to see it cancelled again.

yes sir,a great show.i drive father to go to Charlotte than Carlisle.i think it's a great show.when i started going,the didn't sell out the infield hardly,then once they did,added a field outside,then another?unreal.it's almost too big ?we tromp around there for 4 days and don't look at any cars for sale hardly,too busy looking for parts.one of these days,we'll get there again?i'm still stuck with my truck in Utah,no telling when i can go get it or have it hauled home.it'll all work out.Greg

Hopefully this year things will get better at some point and we won't lose the whole show season again

well today i got in the mail,a letter from the Hornet's Nest people who put on the Charlotte Autofair,saying that this spring's autofair is cancelled as we knew and everybody who had paid for spots,as i have done for years,have now lost the money we paid for those spots,since they have have re-scheduled the event 4 times,covid is "an act of god' that nobody could foresee and that's that.we will be given a 25% discount on buying the spaces for the spring 2022 Autofair.i guess it can't be helped,not the end of the world,just wish they would honor the spaces paid for,whenever we get to go?better days are coming.

I'm a local that goes fairly regularly. That outside fields are starting to dry up a bit, especially with used parts. They don't even use the outside fields for the fall show. Each year it's more and more vendors selling new stuff or trinkets/tools. It's not like it was 10 years ago.

Of course, that makes sense, it's near impossible to find a rusty junk car for an affordable price, let alone one to part out. Even certain 4 doors are starting to bring money and wagons are starting to get pricey too.

I think my first autofair was spring 2005.

yes sir,you're not wrong.it isn't like it was years ago.lots of commercial stuff now rather than good old parts.i used to go every year and drag a ton of NOS stuff there but getting across the border got to be too much work so we still go,and go shopping.it may not be like it was,but we still come with a load.great fun.

Re: Charlotte Auto fair
 

I used to travel to Charlotte for business and been to the Auto Fair. Is this held spring and fall? Or I am getting this mixed up with the fall Good Guys?

Re: Charlotte Auto fair
 

hi,it was always spring and fall for the autofair but not now til spring 2022 as
i understand.

Re: Charlotte Auto fair
 

Spring and fall. Swap meet has ALWAYS been better in the spring, and the fall is typically a lot better for the car show/car corral.

Re: Charlotte Auto fair
 

hi,you're exactly right.we'll hope for better days and a Charlotte Autofair like we used to have,my truck will make it home from Utah soon,it'll all work out.
