Pate Swap Meet 2024 at Texas Motor Speedway! Vintage cars, trucks, parts, signs, toys, & more! 

I sure like it when you get to identify all the great old parts

You transported me back to my childhood with this video ...all the old unwanted cars in our area went to the local dump and I saved a lot of emblems and hood ornaments off them although not as valuable as some of the ones you got ...they were still my treasures as a kid...thanks again for sharing your time and knowledge with us ...Karl from eastern Canada

that was a fantastic video Mr. Goodpliers, what a great collection!! can't wait for part 2 👍

The Je Suis emblems are Frazer, 47-49 I believe. Just like your buddy from Cold War Motors drives.

JE SUIS PRET means in french, I AM READY,, keep the good work sir from a subscriber in Canada.

I'm really happy for you. Watching your videos and watching you do what you do makes me wish I had stayed put at a young age. Then I could've collected and had it all in 1 spot. But instead I traveled and moved state to state a lot, for work reasons. All to provide for and raise a family. But I sure have lost about as much as I've collected because of bouncing around so much over the years. Swap meets are the best ! Another great video ! Good job! 👍 And God bless

Hey Tim... the Pate meet is insane 🤯 I worked at the oldest Western Auto in Louisiana (the Minden store, opened in April 1936) for 20+ years. I absolutely love old Western Auto tools, toys, mowers, bikes, catalogs etc. Thanks for sharing.

The Karts were cool-I spotted a Cushman Allstate too-hoping to score one some day-Thanks for the video!

You made an ABSOLUTE killing on the trim..I have several 6ft x 10inch banner with horn rings,, hood ornaments, trim, molding script,nameplates etc. Every so many pieces a period auto themed magazine ad,sort of shadow boxed among all the chrome. I am extremely jealous...

Excellent treasure chest!! I feel your enthusiasm for all that History. Good haul mate! Mike from Delaware

Excellent video and you did have a great find. Makes me want to come down to Pate. I want to try to go to Hershey this year.Things work out.

Oh the adventure, i miss a good swap meet, my area they are all big commercial vendors, its good to see an old school sap meet, would like to be there with my pipe wrench collection, great video, thumbs up

Thank you for taking us along and that was awesome thank you for the video

Great treasure hunt Tim! Love your finds and that emblem collection is fantastic!

Great swap meet. At 28:45 could that lens be a 36-37 Lincoln Zephyr or a 39 Studebaker Champion? At 43:05 that is a Willys Knight. 44:16 Graham Bros maybe Graham Paige. At 44:43 that Gold Mercury man is the center for the 51 Mercury hubcap. At 44:48 those are all Hupmobile. At 45:43 could that be a Canadian Monarch with that crown. At 48:11 may be a Dodge Ram missing the head and horns. Glad you had an opportunity to get all those items.

Dog star and knight is 30's La Salle

Great Adventure Thanks for sharing

H emblem is Hupmobile

So much product, so few buyers (or it looked that way). Great insight into all things Automotive and Americana. A real eye opener to someone from down under.

The mystery wings attach to the bird hood ornaments Dad has one but it's missing a wing.

I could not help but crack up when I heard how you wrangled that deal. As an avid gearhead in my earlier years I enjoy your channel as it helps keep that part of me alive, so to speak. As health and other circumstances have changed I'm now pursuing another passion (Model Railroading) in a manner similar to you with your cars. What got me was the way the deal evolved. Last Saturday at a model train show I came across a vendor selling "Sylvan 1/87th resin car/truck" kits. What started as $15.00/kit (average of $20.00/kit CDN new + tax) evolved to purchasing his inventory of 10 kits for $85.00. Later another vendor had a brass locomotive, without a price. Of course. Upon inquiry he told me "online they sell for around $650". I'm thinking "Great, here comes $600.00 AT LEAST" When he offered to sell for $300 CDN, it was all I could do to keep my hands from shaking! Later I found similar locomotive with a dent from a fall and questionable paint on a Florida site for $625 USD. I'm sure you'll agree Tim, the best part of any hobby is the "Thrill of the hunt!"

Great find. They will complete someone's vehicle thats just waiting to get that single piece to be completed. 👏 The Hot Wheels model is cool find. I keep few collectibles too but I could find only European cars. The police toy car, I had one like that when we were kids, but of courses my brother had to trash it. "Je suis pret" means in English "I'm ready". The "Kaiser" badge was from 1940's -1950's Frazer Manhattan.

I’ve got my dad’s old 1960 Mercury auto manual!

Another great video! Thanks for taking us along!

Absolutely love watching your travels, finds, views, knowledge, humour.. would be on my bucket list to come to one of your auctions or swap meets... keep up the GREAT WORK Mr Goodpliers... cheers, from Byron Bay Australia..🚦⛽️🛻👍

Great video.

I really like the photo album

All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous

I was thinking you would come home with the model T. That was a fun looking car!

I believe it was HURST shifters that made the FOOT pedal in the 1970s

Fantastic buy on the emblems need mounting or a display cabinet 🔥🔥🔥

The motorbike frame at 56:14 is a Simplex.

Love that Chrysler building model!👍

Fantastic Finds Sir

Awesome finds! What a great catch.....

i remember a pair of 33 or 34 flexbeam headlights being on sale in the antique automobile club website buy and sell probably 10 or 15 years ago . they were $900-950 i think .

I have quite a few very good 63 Impala hubcaps. The Belairs from the Swiss assembly line had them put as well. I own a 63 Belair that my Dad bought from a Sowjet diplomat in 1966. Now I own a 63 Impala as well: Great Chevies! We used to fix some LADAs in our boy shop, they sold them all over Europe. Can it be that one of the hood emblems is from a Borgward Isabella? I owned a few of those. The models of European cars may be oddball cars in the States, but I grew up in Switzerland during the Sixties and Seventies and they were a commons sight. At least the French, Italian and German vehicles. The British ones were also around (my Dad used to work in a Vauxhall dealership in the beginning of the Sixties) on our streets, but not in very big numbers, with the exception of the Minis.

I'm from Saskatchewan. Would love to see that photo album. From what I could catch, photos are from the Cypress Hills and Shaunavan area, SW corner of the province.

Good long video.thanks😊

Blue hudson steering wheel emblem

Loved this video!!

Nothing like going broke on a good deal!

The 3 knight emblem is from a 37 Graham hood ornament. The knight on a horse. Is the horn button from the same car.

I can remember when there was a western auto in most towns back in the sixtys!!!!

Fellow youtuber Half assed customs , from Canada has a Donkey mounted on his International twin cab dualey , great guy

Great haul!

I liked the Chrysler 300 shown at 9:45. I'm thinking of buying one like that.

General motors Holden in Australia offered those honey comb wheels on the Monaro coupe in the 1970s . I've only ever seen one though and pics of others . A rare option here .

They got u on that Western Auto stuff bad😅😅

Hi the small blue with the crown on top and the M is from a Canada ford (1949 Monarch) Think Good Thoughts! Don't Feed the Negative! Straight Ahead ✌😎

Good haul sir . have u ever come across a mack truck hood artiment.thanks for sharing vid

I needed a 71/72 c1 grill. but yours is broken at the same spot as mine. The latch.😇

The H badge I think is 1930s hupmobile, the wing badge might be from last generation LaSalle?

Great video, thank you. Has anyone ever told you that you are an old soul? Not many of your generation into antique and classic cars. I hope I am wrong.

Could it be from a 1940 Cadillac LaSalle? Part of upper grill section for the hood.

gold bird in clear cap.. 1958 ?? Thunderbird steering wheel cap/...maybe??

Looked like a great event Tim! What's your method of remembering makes, models, years, and parts identification? Pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing!

,,...tnx,for your vid,,,I learn and see parts that I know and find all sorts while recycling metal here in N.wis,..,,,the light lens(oval),I found one,,for a nash,.($100.oo),,,..odd pieces I have found,,,this helps me identify them,,,,....cool,,,,.....pat&family,land o' lakes,wi.

Cool stuff 😎 👌 love the swap meet

Yes that is hard find Peace out

Lots of mobility scooters

Problem with a large collection like that is what do keep for yourself or what do you sell lol

"Je suis pret" means "I am ready"

Je suis pret is French for IM READY

The "foot" goes on the little known Cadillac "foot wood" or "fleetfoot" Ya think ?

"French" hood ornament is Frazer

i saw a rpm sign wonder if its a 28 " you know about the 28" one are rare the 20 and 23 are not. i wish you ciuld ask.its at about 4-59 on your video

How do you find your eBay store you don't have no link in your description

Good walkabout

Star dog knight emblem. Look at 1920s Cadillac LaFrance.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

That cap you were holding up that's a gas cap not a radiator cap I don't know what it's to but I know it's a gas cap

Change it to Mr. Badges!🤣

love the rusty ass horse trailer ? but it would take a year to travel 10 miles as every 10ft youd be stopped for an inspection

10:17 XR 80, 1994❤

I wonder when disability scooters are gonna be Americas next vintage car LOL

46:10 1940 Oldsmobile

Your wrench is a pipe wrench, not a Monkey wrench, as in the catalog.

How MUCM MÒNY😢

What no sound
