LANCE MILLER and BILL MILLER III
Welcome to Fall Carlisle. If you are here for the fi rst
time, thank you for making our event part of your
weekend. If you are a regular, thank you for returning to
the best event of its type in the world. Whether you are
here for fi ve days, just one or something in between, by
the conclusion of your journey, you’ll leave with some
great memories. If you have questions, visit Guest Services,
where our friendly staff will help in any way possible.
This weekend, you’ll quickly learn that Fall Carlisle is
the place for you to purchase automotive parts and accessories
for upgrades, maintenance or restoration of
your collector car. In addition, if you fancy automotivethemed
memorabilia, there is a great array of that here
too. Auctions America by RM returns, and they have a lot
of great cars for auction. Preview the cars at the Carlisle
Expo Center, then stop in on Thursday and Friday for the
auction excitement.
Speaking of cars, be sure to visit the car corral. Deal
directly with the owner, and with onsite fi nancing, you
can drive your new car home within hours.
In closing, we have some company news to share.
First, Carlisle Events is now involved with two events in
Zephyrhills, FL. Zephyrhills Fall AutoFest and Winter AutoFest
are just like Spring and Fall Carlisle. The fall event
is November 8-11, 2012, and the winter gathering takes
place February 21-24, 2013. Further, we’ve added a nonautomotive
event to the schedule for 2013. Consider
being part of the Carlisle Sports and Outdoor Nationals,
September 6-8. Also added is an event in Bloomsburg,
PA, that takes place each August.
In all, your support has helped bring us to this point as
a company. To that, we ask that you take a few moments
to fi ll out our event survey online at www.CarlisleEvents.

SO MANY TREASURES, SO LITTLE TIME
With winter just around the corner, Fall Carlisle is the
perfect place to fi nd the parts you need for your
snowy-day project, or to sell extra parts you obtained
over the summer.
There’s nothing quite like a swap meet, especially at
Carlisle, where there are over 150 acres of parts, over
8,000 vendor spaces, and hundreds of cars for sale.
Chances are, if you’re looking for something specifi c for
your project, you’ll be able to fi nd it with a little walking,
a keen eye and some help from a few friends.
But my favorite part about swap meets isn’t fi nding
what you set out to fi nd. It’s fi nding what you didn’t
expect when you weren’t really looking. Maybe you
see a good set of bumpers for a ’68 Camaro instead of
that cowl hood you were hunting, or a new set of stainless
bed rails for a ’72 Chevy truck instead of a 750-cfm
double pumper carb for your truck’s engine. Those parts
weren’t at the top of your list of needs, but you still need
them, and here they are, just waiting to go home with
you. When I’m out hunting, I have to be careful not to get
carried away — it just underlines why you should have a
good list of needed items with you, and try to stick to it.
A couple of other tips for the weekend: Get here early,
as the best deals go fi rst. And be sure to walk through
again on the last day for low prices on parts that sellers
just can’t take home. Don’t be afraid to negotiate prices,
and have friends help you hunt by spreading out —
there’s just too much for one person to see in one day.
If you’re in the market for American car parts, be sure
to check out American Car Collector magazine. From
auction results to in-depth profi les on American cars,
ACC is the go-to guide for information on the American
car marketplace. There’s a special off er card in this guide.
And above all, good luck in your hunt this weekend!
