I met beaumontguru and sk67sd there. Anyone else from here attend?
I had a great time. Only made one purchase but I'm thrilled with it. Don't mind how they look. It appears they will clean up real nice.

Good score Carl... it was nice to meet up! ...i managed the remote power steering pump/resevoir for $40... and a B&M holeshot convertor for $100... which i needed to buy this week... i found the convertor on my second go around, from someone who came a bit later...

For those who weren't there, it was somewhat comical. While we were standing around Dave's Beaumont, people kept coming up and putting more parts into the trunk. I sure hope those guys are all friends of his!!!

Are those Pontiac 2+2 Rally wheel centres?

Damn I missed it. I got in late last night from bringing my car back from Edmonton. Was too tired. Was there any good/neat cars for sale there???

I guess it depends what you are looking for. In my opinion it was one of the best Winnipeg spring swap meets that I can ever remember. Others may say different, but there was a good bunch of vendors, lots of good stuff (not just all Model T crap) and some good prices.

Definitely the good weather brought people out, a good variety of parts to be had...like carl said, not just model T stuff and brochures, there was a mix of parts from different years... not really too much for project cars, but again depends what you might be looking for... i think we all left pretty happy with what we got our hands on...which was a variety of purchases...

Carl, I am really interested to know what car those centre caps are from, they look exactly like the ones on the Pontiac 2+2 in the 1970 Sales brochure I have. 65Camino and I were looking all over Ancaster Swap Meet for something similar to those.

That is exactly what they are. They are used on 67 to 70 Canadian Pontiacs only when they were ordered with rally wheels. I think that Acadian used them, I know that Beaumont and full size had them.
They are also made that say "disc brake" on them. I have only ever seen a few of the disc brake style.

Thanks, they are nice. We saw the disc brake versions at Ancaster but not these, there was also a cap the vendors were calling "police" which was similar but no black accents. Would these fit 14" or 15" wheels?

These caps fit both 14" and 15". I think the 15's only came on full size and 14's on the others.
Were the disc brake caps you saw the Chevy bowtie pieces or the same as these? If they were like these, maybe they were the new repro pieces?

I am certain they were reproductions, the centre was able to be removed and your choice of disc brake, bow tie or plain could screw on with three screws from behind.

Do you happen to remember how much the repro set costs?

As I recall the prices were in the $120 range. I recall one vendor who had a sign with an odd slogan who was from Welland, ON. I'll see if I still have his card.
I thought those would be perfect on your car Todd, glad to see you have them.
