What is the Automotive Flea Market & Car Corral?
- An automotive flea market, or swap meet, is a concentrated area dedicated to buying, selling, and trading of automotive parts, signage, collectibles, and other items. The car corral is reserved for vehicle sales only.
- Your purchased space acts as your business footprint. Flea market spaces are approximately 10 feet wide by 30 feet deep and car corral spaces are approximately 10 feet wide by 20 feet deep. Space rental fees vary per event.
- Securing a space to sell offers you, the seller, a captive audience. In many instances, the automotive event attached to the flea market is the largest of its type, drawing guests from around the world.
