VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION Meets, Tours & Events Springfield Swap Meet

I saw an ad in Hemmings for the Springfield Swap meet, November 9-19, that stated it is the Mid-West's largest swap meet and car show. How does it compare to Iola?

Are you talking about Springfield, OH ? ( actually held at Clark County Fairgrounds ) which is very near to Springfield.

Yes, Clement. That is the one. I should have said that.

Hi, Bill. I have been there several times in past 3 years. They actually have 3 large meets there each year. May, September, and in November. The November one is just on Friday/Saturday November 9th and 10th. ( the others are Friday to Sunday events ) Look up www.ohioswapmeet.com. They have cars for sale, car show and swap meet. I have never been to Iola, so don't have anything to compare it to, but it has a few hundred vendors. I hope this helps you . Personally, I love it, and I just live 1 hour away.

I was at the May event, it was HUGE. I haven't yet went to a fall event, but I plan on trying to get up there in November.

Similarly, if there is any interest, Dick Moffitt's Chevy and Antique Auto Parts is going out of business. This is a multi-day auction at the same location as the swap meet, the Clark County Fairgrounds. Check out the link below. I was at Moffitt's last year looking for something, unbelievable the parts he has and it's all got to go.
