Member Clubs

Who are we ?

The Coastal Swap Meet is put on by three local car clubs:

PISRA – Pacific International Street Rod Association

VCCC – Vintage Car Club of Canada – Vancouver Chapter

BCHRA – British Columbia Hot Rod Association

Three car clubs formed a partnership more than 50 years ago to create the Coastal Swap Meet. What started out as a small gathering of car enthusiasts cleaning out old car parts, has grown into one of the largest Swap Meet in Western Canada.

In 2014, after continuous vendor support, BCHRA became the fourth member of the Coastal Swap Meet Society.  Unfortunately one of our founding member clubs, The Totem A&T Club, has found itself unable to continue to participate.  We will miss them!

The Swap Meet offers more than 700 indoor and outdoor stalls rented by more than 400 vendors, and occupying the entire Tradex footprint, and selling everything from vintage car parts to complete cars that you can take for a test drive.

The success of this event is due to the work of more than 150 volunteers from the four member clubs, many of whom work many hours throughout the year to organize this event.

The Swap Meet is a great way to stay up on the latest information regarding old cars, and to form friendships with people who enjoy the same hobbies as you do.
