Chopped Fibersport Crosley HMod on Ebay

This Crosley-powered Fibersport has seen better days, but it still wears the Fibersport 'factory' baby blue livery and the seller claims that the motor ran well when he started it a year ago.

Heads Up, Ebay Pick Up Ain't Quite Right

John McKnight suggested I check out this cut down 1948 Crosley Station Wagon that is being sold as a Pick Up on Ebay.  The seller says he doesn't know anything about Crosleys so I doubt he's being dishonest... just not an informed seller.

The tip offs are: the rear body profile (should be flat, not rounded), the back of the cab (window should be pill shaped, should have stampings on either side of the glass), and the bed should be flat- this has a modified wagon floor.  I learned a whole lot about '48 pick ups when I bought one outta Utah last year.

Seems like a nice car for what it is, I just hope the bidders know what they are getting....

Crosley TQ Midget for sale in SoCal - $1200

Interesting ad for a Crosley 3/4 Midget Race Car for sale on the LA CL.  Pictures are so bad that the seller must have taken that "How Not to Sell Your Car" class - it looks like the car has been recently painted but who really knows.  Engine does have speed equipment and he claims it's been hotted up with a big cam.

2012 West Coast Crosley Meet: Wow!

Last year I pitched the idea of having the Crosley Club's annual West Coast Meet in the quaint Gold Country town of Sutter Creek.  Liv and I have had a lot of fun daytrips in that area and it didn't take much imagination to picture Crosleys buzzing through those Gold Rush towns and zipping along in the Sierra Nevada foothills.  We put it up to a vote at last year's meet and the club members said 'go for it!'

Million Goggomobil March

My car-obsessed pal Jackson Griffith just tipped me to this - who knew there were SO MANY GOGGOMOBILS????

Monterey, Part I

Everything in my life is over the top hectic right now, so I'm still scratching my head over the fact that I managed to squeeze in almost four full days at Monterey's Car Week!  The opportunity (as in a free pass to the Pebble Beach concours) presented itself and I cleared the decks in order to take advantage - I couldn't afford NOT to.  I've been to the Rolex Historic Motorports Fest at Laguna Seca before but I'd never seen the Pebble Beach Concours.... seeing the two together was almost to much stimulation for one weekend.
