Title: Pumpkin Run
Post by: BONOVOX on October 28, 2013, 07:34:31 pm
Anyone ever go to the Pumpkin Run Car Show in Egg Harbor NJ?

If so, is it worth it in terms of soda and gas memorabilia?

Thanks

It's Nov 2.   

Apparently I'm not "welcome" at the show, since my car is a 1975 it isn't old enough.    :censored:

Well, whoop-de-do. They don't sound very welcoming at all. Taken broadly, this could even mean that you have to come in a pre-75 car/vehicle to be admitted at all. I don't think that's what they meant, but I'm of the opinion these people seriously need to work on their marketing.  :darn:

If you want to see the owner of this place watch the episode of American Pickers when they are in NJ.  They go there and buy tons cheap, now we all know the show is staged and apparently this guy never sells but I met an acquaintance of this guy and they said he gave in to be on TV and they did actually buy stuff from him.

So the pumpkin run was very cool. The swap meet wasn't huge but I found a few cool things. The grounds are the real attraction. He has some neat stuff there.
