Bucksaw Blade
I check the Crosley Auto Club's Crosley-Gang bulletin board every day - always good stuff, but this was too good not to share....
From Ken Knapp:
"That reminds me of the stories my Mom would tell of her car. She had a crosley through high school, teachers college and through her first years of teaching.They would move her car into the gymnasium."

Treasure Trove
In between all the storms a few weeks back, I drove down to Borrego Springs (waaaaay down south, near the Mexican border) and then back to Sacto the next day. 1100 total miles, and a little over 20 hours of driving.
The occasion was a long-delayed visit to Rick and Laura Alexander, the retired president and treasurer of the West Coast Crosley Club. They are moving out of their home in spectacular - but remote - Borrego Springs, and heading back to San Diego, from whence they sprang, ten years ago.

RIP Robert Hansen - the man behind The Crosley Report
Woke up Monday to some very sad news: my friend Robert (Richard*) Hansen died of a pulmonary embolism last weekend.

Blast From the Past
Looking through some boxes of club archives tonight and found a set of photos from the 1995 meet - two years before I'd joined. Was VERY surprised to see a photo of the '49 Crosley convertible I bought in 1998!
I had no idea that the previous owner had been involved in the club, but that's the same license number, and it looks about the same as when I bought it.
Hard to say for sure, but I'll bet the white station wagon in the background is the one I have in my garage now...

WILD Crosley Stock Car Race Footage Found
Indefatigable Crosley fan John McKnight sent me a link to this recently-posted footage of indoor all-Crosley stock car racing from the fifties. It is NUTS.
