Loved following along on this guy's project: building an early fifties style aluminum bodied racing special. Fantastic job, with real attention to...
Runs in the family!
Any idea where it is now?
But the engine is the best part of a Crosley!
It really depends on the job- i'm fixing the front steps on a 1913 rental property right now. The existing treads are mushy and loose, so I was...
thanks!
I'm putting the front of a '52 Dodge back together and I can't figure out where these two brackets (pictured) go? They were somewhere in front of...
Crosley did a lot of engine variants, including a flat 8 and an experimental straight 6 (which led to a hypothetical 24 cylinder aircraft motor),...
I found that first one pictured (raw fiberglass) here in Sacramento maybe 10 years ago. It was designed for H-Modified class racing (where Crosley...
So cool to see that Gearhead shirt- Mike LaVella and his crew were the first guys I knew who were into traditional customs. He was already...
I was watching that one- nice car, and congratulations! You're not too far from the biggest annual gathering of Crosleys in the world: the...
Early Porshes are bad ass. Friend of mine found an early '50s convertible that had been cut into a road racer and he's been cleaning it up and...
Just chiming in to say 'I hear you.' I've been following along, hoping that whatever was wrong would make itself right but it sounds like maybe...
hey Alan Hart- can't answer your question, but wanted to invite you to join the West Coast region of the Crosley Club! We have an active racing...
You're livin' the dream - looks like a great trip!
Some years apart, but I wonder if this may have influenced the 1948 Norman Timbs / Emil Diedt Roadster? Seems a bit like a streamlined update of...
This is one of my pet peeves - turns even the coolest car into a 'ten footer'
Amazing, even on a Monday. The rainstorm sucked for the racers but it sure made for some nice photos for me. :eek:
The scenes with the car by far were my favorite part of that movie - and i actually thought of the Jalopy Journal as I was watching - it seemed...
I might be there on the Monday (sept 10), which begs the question- how much is going on at WoS on a Monday?
[IMG] Found this picture at a swap meet this weekend- the car sure looks familiar, but I can't ID it or the driver. I'm guessing the engine is...
That's great- I had no idea that was there!
You figured it all the way down to one fave car? Dang, I can't even narrow it down to ten.
Still eagerly awaiting mine but I think it was in the second batch... the suspense!
Thanks guys! It's a really neat car - it's cool enough that I'm hesitant to do to much to it until I know as much as I possibly can about the...
I believe that the Robacek I was Crosley-powered when built... it had acquired a modified Renault Dauphine engine by the time I got it. I didn't...
This is one of my favorite builds on the HAMB - already a jaw dropper, and I can't wait to see it done!
I love the old hearses/ambulances as modified cars, especially when used as band vehicles... In 1991 nothing was cooler than pulling up to the...
Agreed! By far the best book I've ever read on American racing/rodding. Essential reading for any modified car geek.
Those sportscar bubbles are pure car porn, but for a '38 Ford application I gotta vote for something along the lines of 3dnsouth's solution.
