7th
Annual Rosanky Swap Meet and Car Show
Rosanky, TX
September 9 - 11, 2004
The Central Texas Museum of
Automotive History, located in Rosanky, TX, held its 7th annual swap
meet, car sales and old car cruise in and car show on September
9th - 11th this year. This event is quickly becoming one
of Texas' largest old car swap meet events. The swap meet
has not been taken over by many of the now typical "new"
products or vendor booths that are becoming far too common at
many swap meets. If you still like digging through piles
of old rusted parts or looking through boxes of pieces and not
knowing what you will find, Rosanky is probably an event you
will enjoy. You can find parts you were looking for or buy
a whole car if you like. If you have never attended this
event there are some things to know if you ever do make it.
First of all, be prepared with plenty of water. It does
get warm at Rosanky and be prepared for the dust on your shoes,
legs, well basically all over you. The area is dusty and
out in the Texas heat. As you drive out to Rosanky, you
begin to doubt the directions you were given or are following,
as Rosanky is not much in the way of a big booming town.
You have probably heard of a town with the one stoplight, well I
don't believe Rosanky even has one stoplight. You
basically drive for miles through hay fields and such and can't
believe that so many other people know about this place or have
found the place when you get there. It is one of those
places that definitely shows truth to the old saying of "if you
build it, they will come." The museum was built out in the
middle of one of these hay fields and has attracted some of the
oddest most amazing vehicles and pieces of history that you will
ever encounter. If you have never stopped by the museum
for yourself, I highly recommend that you take the time at some
point and do so. They have a great collection of cars and
artifacts that are either owned by the museum family, donated to
the museum or on loan. Many vehicle makes and models that
you never knew existed or were made are on display. On
Saturday of this event, car clubs from surrounding areas like
San Antonio and Austin make their way out for a cruise and the
event hosts a car show. For more info about the museum or
