I know many people who have been to it.  It's pretty much the biggest all-make show they host.  If you like cars, then it is definitely worthwhile.

I know you live in Pa., but I'm not sure how far the drive is for you. If you want to see some nice vintage cars of all makes, then fine. If you are seeking parts for your Mopar, you better wait for the Chrysler show in July.   :grinyes:

Your not gonna find many Mopar parts at Spring Carlisle. Prolly be some nice stuff in the Car corral. I live pretty close but usually don't go because it's usually rainy and muddy.

It is to me. I've been going with my brother (cudaboy340) for years. Back when we started going all I had were old BMW 2002's and Datsun Z's so I went mostly just to hang out with him and check out the event. Now I've added 4 Plymouths to my collection but it's still mostly about hanging with Ed. If you haven't been to Spring or Fall Carlisle then I suggest that you check it out. It's bigger than the Chrysler event. Put on your walking shoes!

Spring and fall carlisle are like a shot in the dark for Mopar items.  Basically, Ive learned that if you can not find the part you are looking for at Chryslers @ Carlisle, it ain't out there.  Since you only live that far away, your best bet would be to just go to the Chrysler event there.

It sounds like there are 2 views on your question.  Are you going because of interest in Mopar cars and parts at the swap meet?  If so, then wait until Chrysler at Carlisle.  If you want to go to look at thousands of cars of all makes and models, then go to the Spring event.

Lol, well, I'm only 20 minutes away, and yet I've never been to the spring or fall shows.  I guess the MOPAR show was the only one I cared about!!!   :lol:
