Rockland Antique Marketplace

A group center for many different dealers this is a great gem of a place and in a convenient location if you are planning on touring Rockland Maine. With floor space large enough to enjoy but not overwhelming I always find some high quality gems and the prices are usually reasonable.

Up to 200 Antique, classic and special interest automobiles go up for bid. One of the greatest car shows in New England. This is a fantastic show and very fun to watch the bidding.
