It is my understanding from reading the posts during and after the 2010 Crosley Automobile Club National Meet that everyone had a great time.Unfortunately I was unable to see Dave Anspach again, but Dave, I am looking forward to seeing you in Hershey, Pennsylvania in October.
Also, I wanted to meet two gentlemen, the two B.S.ers, who I have spoken with on several occasions, Messers Seel and Smedley.
Barry Smedley, thanks for your genuine offer of hospitality on the floor or in the extra bed in your room. Barry Seel, I am meeting the gentleman in Ligonier, PA at 10:00AM on Tuesday, 20 July to see and drive my recent acquisition for the first time. To both of you, words cannot adequately describe my gratitude!
Now that I know the featured Crosley vehicles at the 2011 National Meet will be the "VC Class," rather than ship the car to California in July or August 2010, I am looking for QUALITY INDOOR STORAGE somewhere in Ohio so I am able to display and drive my "VC" in July 2011. Following are the two questions I posed during the 2010 CAC, which no one answered on the forum, as most active CAC members were at Wauseon:
1. On the 1952 Crosley Pickups, was the spinner inside the front grill OEM?
2. Did Crosley ever supply either an aftermarket or OEM hitch setup for a 1952 Crosley Pickup? Has anyone designed a hitch set-up, and if so, please contact me OFF FORUM at my email address or telephone number.
I have been in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA arriving Wednesday, 14 July. I am here for the annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, which is the only venue in the USA with all out open street racing for vintage race cars. This year the qualifying is Saturday, 24 July, with the finals run on Sunday, 25 July.
I am displaying my Juan Peron Sponsored 1954 Pan Americana Road Race Ford, which was entered in the final Pan Americana Road Race (AKA Mexican Road Race) in 1954. This world famous event was held from 1950-1954. It was canceled after the 1954 race due to several driver deaths and many, many spectator deaths, just as the famous Italian Targo Florio was canceled for the same reasons.
I would enjoy meeting Crosley friends from the greater Pittsburgh area, i.e. Glenshaw, on Monday, 19 July 2010 from 3-9 at the corner of Walnut Street. & Aiken Avenue in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh, PA. The Juan Peron sponsored 1954 Pan American Road Race car will the featured vehicle!
The little "Beanie & Cecil" prop was dealer installed to upgrade the trucks along with the Crosley factory addition of the rollup winders. The spinner also was used to make the 1951 vehicles look like the 1952 ones when the dealer switched the serial number plates making the remainder of the cars all new again! The best hitch I have seen is on the famous "Crosley-Davidson" built by another talented Barry, Barry Dennis. http://www.angelfire.com/mi/MIRG/crosley.html
I hope this is right.......i have found out that anything goes pretty much on a Crosley making them even more of a people car and that makes us love them all the more.
The information I have is all commercial vehicles (pickup, and sedan delivery) had no prop, or fender ornaments. roll up windows were standard on pickup trucks. Only the 1951 standard coupe, and station wagon had slider windows. No hitch was available.
