Whitewall Candy Store
If you want to dress up your street car, jalopy, street rod or classic, one the best looking changes you can make is new tires and rims from the Whitewall Candy Store.
Aside of the Whitewall Candy Store’s Orange, CA location, the best spot to look over these beautiful tire packages is at the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show. You can check out several whitewalls and others on Road 25, Spaces 38 through 46. Or, you can call (714) 769-4800 and ask for Rebecca Nunes. This young lady is a treat to talk with and knows her stuff about tires, rims, hubcaps and more.
Rebecca told me that her dad is the reason she is in the tire business. In fact, the whole family; dad, mom, brother Tony, and Rebecca’s fiance Ed, all contribute to the success of the venture. Her father Bill had a passion for working on the classics and raised Rebecca around collector cars, so going into the tire business was a natural for her.
The Whitewall Candy Store is a natural for all your tire needs: whitewalls, Redlines, Bluelines and Goldlines for the Antique, Classic and Modern cars and trucks. Tire brands: Cooper, Firestone, BF Goodrich and more await your approval at the Whitewall Candy Store. You want raised white letters, The Cooper Mastercraft Avenger may be the tire for you – aggressive and beautiful. You want special hubcaps to round out your classic or collectable, they either have it, or will find it, if it is available.
A visit to this booth at the show is a must. Like all the vendors at the Pomona Swap Meet, these are great people, they know their stuff and they can work with you on whatever package you need. The Pomona Swap Meet appreciates our vendors and invite our customers to meet them and look at their quality products. Be sure to also check out their website at www.classicwhitewalltires.com/ to view their product line. Also, be sure to “like” them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Whitewall-Candy-Store/76577686876 where you can get their most up to date information regarding their products and stock.

You might think that finding a fabric salesperson and a seamstress at an auto related swap meet is somewhat strange. That’s because you never met Kathy Karns of “Baggie Bags”. Kathy is a special lady featuring the sales of unique car fabrics selling by the yard to Pomona Swap Meet customers. Kathy’s fabrics are also offered as finished products. Her specialties include aprons, shirts, tote bags and helmet bags..jpg)
Like so many of our folks, being a swap meet vendor is a second (or third career) for Kathy. She previously was a stage mother, raising four children who acted in movies and commercials. It was a busy time for her and after the children were living on their own, Kathy decided to go into business for herself. She had a friend who sold at the swap meet for years who convinced Kathy to come on out and give it a shot. We’re glad she did. She is a welcome addition to the Pomona Swap Meet family of vendors.
As usual, it looks as though we will have a bunch of happy campers at the December 4th Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show. One large group will be happily camping, showing their vehicles and sharing stories and information in the Volkswagen show/sale section. They are the West Coast Bays and they are our Featured Car Club at the December 4th Swap Meet. Many members are regular shoppers and/or vendors at the Pomona Swap Meet, but we are privileged to have them out as a group showing their vehicles.
The purpose of the club is to unite Bay Window owners and enthusiasts, informing them of up-coming Bay Window related activities, as well as parts sources and service providers. The club website, 
Early in the 18th century, the Staudenbecker family of Solingen, Germany decided they would relocate to a place that would allow them freedom of religion and of their personal lives. In 1736, they set out for America bound for a new home in Philadelphia, PA. The immigration clerks, unfamiliar with the German language recorded their name as Studebecker, Studibacker, Studebaker and other variations. They adopted the Studebaker name and while many went into farming, several family members went into blacksmithing and wagon making, designing what was to become the famous Conestoga wagon.
