Like a lot of swap meets, a shadow of it's former self. It used to be the go-to place to get parts for vintage Euro trash. Now it's just a car show that costs too much.
I have never been to this show, this may be the year.
If you were to fly in, what would be the best airport? Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore, other?

I still go every year, and then I get sad.
In reply to Slippery :
Harrisburg is the closest but doesn't have that many flights. Otherwise BWI and PHL are about equidistant so whichever gives you the better flight and rental car.
I'd say the drive up from Baltimore is easier than from Philly. The latter pretty much requires you to take the Turnpike, which is expensive and sucks. If possible, fly into Harrisburg. A little extra spent is worth avoiding the drive.
It's certainly worth going if you are a Citroen or SAAB fan. Their competitors, Volvo and Renault are also well represented. Definitely a more pan-Euro-leaning show than most large import shows.
