if your talking about the swap meet, you wont find one bigger.......ANYWHERE! It has gone a little commercial though with a lot of new parts vendors, but theres still alot to be found if you get there early(like 5 AM)

there is a car show just like it literally 1 minute from my house at Vet stadium here in long beach. It meets monthly like Pomona, it's just on a smaller scale. I thought my swap meet was pretty big but people said pomona was 5-10 times bigger, I still have to make it out there, only like an hour or so drive for me

I went to a car show/swap meat a few weeks ago at the pleasanton fairgrounds. I didn't find anything worth buying from the private party sellers but MustangsPlus had a booth there and they were selling parts for cheap!!

My buddy and I both bought a chrome export brace for $15. He also got a pristine reproduction hood for his '65 for about $40-$50. Don't know why they were selling them so cheap, maybe overstock, but that made the trip all worth it.

5-10 times bigger is a understatment. I have walked Long Beach in less then a hour.Pomona, if walked all rows and cars is about 7-10 miles.
