Portland, OR -- Mark the
calendar for one of the West’s largest and longest-running classic auto
gatherings, as the Portland Auto Swap Meet revs up to celebrate its 50th
anniversary April 4 – 6 2014, held at the Portland Metropolitan Expo Center.
With 3,500

more than 30,000 auto enthusiasts annually, focusing on classic cars dating
from the earliest days of mass production to 1980 models.
“If
you’re looking for anything from a gleaming, rebuilt hot rod to an original
part for a Model A, the Portland Auto Swap Meet is for you,” said event chairman

exception of an area featuring a range of collectibles, the meet is a
head-spinning collection of classic cars, parts and accessories, including
original, remanufactured and new products, presented by large and small vendors
from across the country.
“It’s
always an exceptional range of items, and the April date makes this a great
opportunity to find just what you want, what you need or what you think you need
in advance of the summer cruising season,” added VanWinkle.
