That's a cool mod- love the rounded front wheelwells and lowered windshield. Interesting solution to the blockiness of the stock Super Sports...
I'm with everybody else: Damn near perfect. That place always has amazing stuff. I once had a chance to buy a car before it ended up at Fantasy...
Thanks for the tips! Any guess on the number of cars out there on a Monday? I'm thinking there were 80+ cars making runs on Monday at Speed Week...
A friend of mine is coming over from Europe this summer and he really wants to go to Bonneville. Unfortunately, he can't get here til the end of...
I usually imagine the frame painted semi-gloss, but these full-gloss beauties are kinda making me rethink my plans for one of my current...
Howdy from Sacramento...
earlier Crosleys came with the Tillotson- switched to Carter circa 1950 I think... and yes, check the crosley auto club page...
That was an article called 'Braje's Bomb' about a rail built/run by Nick Brajevich of 'Braje' Speed Equipment. He'd sworn to his mother that he...
That was a later Lloyd Taylor (Crosley CoBra designer) engine on the cover of Motor Trend... I think it was called the 'Taylor Supersport' or...
Whoa. That Duvall Phaeton is, hands down, the best-looking Kustom I've ever seen. What a piece of work. Sounds like it disappeared in the '50s?...
As much as I love the Nash Healey I'd say it's stretching it to call it an 'American' car- without Donald Healey it just wouldn't be the same....
Shees- and I thought California was expensive on everything!
Any hambers do towing/auto hauling in/around Chicago? I'm in California and I'm looking at buying a Crosley wagon in Naperville (just outside...
Interesting timeframe - that's exactly when Zora Arkus-Duntov was working for Allard... [IMG]
<<<< this is a Fiberglass-bodied homebuilt sportscar that was probably built back in the late '50s. Tube frame with mostly Crosley parts and a...
The car in my avatar is a Fibersport-bodied Crosley special from the Midwest- I don't know whether the chassis is Fibersport (it would be the only...
Speaking of tire technology, I love seeing the slides around corners. There were quite a few wrecks at that event- I'm surprised none of them...
Ran across this killer color footage of the 1954 Pebble Beach race.... maybe the best road racing footage I've ever seen from this era. Plenty of...
That Almquist special has Crosley suspension and other bits... I think it started out Crosley-powered back in the day?.. Great car, saw it run...
The wagon was in one of the magazines (Hot Rod I think) last summer - I have a '52 Dodge station wagon that's a similar body color (and similar...
Howdy from Sacramento!
I can't believe the Sir Vival sur-vived! Couldn't pay me to own it, but man I'd love to get one ride in it.
A few years ago I met a guy named Dave Wheeler who'd designed and sandcast his own finned Crosley valve covers and side covers when he was still a...
Incredible- thanks for posting!
Lazlobasset- If you decide not to go for the Crosleys (and nobody on here is up for 10 of them) let me know... I know some guys in that area who'd...
Did your Dad ever build the Hmod?
Not true- you just remove the cam cover and adjust the valves with shims. old Jaguars have more or less the same arrangement.
The Crosley engines were pretty genius for what they were, but you are looking at something designed to power a 1200 pound car along very slowly....
As much as I love the crazy giant cars the Germans were building just before WWII, the mid-fifties are my favorite period for Road Racing. Still...
West Coast Crosley Club Meet: Sept 10-11, Buellton, CA Thought I'd forward this note about the upcoming Crosley Club meet in Buellton, CA...
