crosley hot rod pix please...

Sorry, that's the only picture I took. What's your time line like? I'll probably see it around this summer .

FWIW, it's pretty much the car that Tingler suggested above on this thread.

 

...nevermind...

 

40,

timeline is that this car is only a body out behind the barn, a pile of leftover parts from current project, a line on a drivetrain from a friend, and a dream. i'd appreciate it if you marked this thread and post pix to it if you see the car again this summer.

 

I saw a crossley in Spokane a couple of yrs ago that was on a Honda civic chassis the guy said he had to slice the body length wise and widen it about 4 inches to fit. It was pretty cool seeing him smoke the front tires

 

Thats the first and hopefully last time I ever read that on the HAMB.

 

AMEN! preach on brutha...

 

Consider it done

 

Mike look at the photos in your MIND!Do it!!! Your Mexican eating Bud.26-T

 

This is from HAMB drags 1. The kid driving this car (Luke) was only 13 or 14 at the time. He ran about a 12.2 or so, if I'm not mistaken.

 

one last time back to the top in hopes that someone has pix of jim lytle's 389 crosley.

and i didn't realize that the crosley with the model a fenders belonged to dave lucari (sp?). there are some people who would kill for his ardun flatmotor. i prolly wouldn't kill anyone for it, but i would consider trading my left nut for it.

 

thanx, 40.

for everyone else, see reply # 23.

my apologies to dave for butchering his last name (see reply #41).

and did anyone ever find a pic of jim lytle's 389 crosley?

 

I can't tell if these cars have been shown before, I don't see any pictures on "AHOTRODS" posts.
Yellow wagon at the Antique Nationals 4 years ago.
The stock "race car hauler" is at the Justice Bros. museum. '22

 

this guy passed us on the 101 fwy going to paso.

 

does anyone know who owns this one above?

 

Hell yes!

 

There was a lot of speed equipment made for the little CIBA SOHC factory Crosley 4banger engine by BRAJE. And many one-offs were made in school shop classes over the years. Cam covers, water jacket plates, oil pans, intakes...lots of melted aluminum.
The engines were highly competitive in drag racing, boat racing, small car racing, AND were used for many years after the cars were discontinued by the US Armed Services and trucking/ railroad industries as generators, welding machines, refrigeration power plants. The last hurrah was their use by the Boston Whaler Boat COmpany as the "Bearcat" engine. HP was raised to 75 with a 85 or 95 HP unit in development when the engine plant burned in the late 70s, bringing the end of a well desgned and universal engine.

The transmissions continued in life as used in garden tractors(Kuboda) and small runabouts like Cushman trucksters. The truckster also used the Crosley rearend through end of production

 

I have some pics in my laptop of a Crosley hotshot with a V8-60 in it from Goodguys Spokane, 2006. If anyone's interested I can post them, when I get home. I know it's not realy on topic, but it's a Crosley

 

Custom Crosley built in the 50's and recently found & restored by the original builder's son & grandson.

You guys do know the difference between a Crosley and Morris-Minor....right?

 

my thoughts exactly

 

I didn't care for the head light swap on the Minir woody.

 

Dave still has the Crosley..he said he was collecting parts for a new motor to put in it as the original is in the roadster.

Here's a Crosley from 1959 running a 292 Y Block.
From the March 1959 Car Craft magazine.

 

This is from a factory rep at a new tractor dealership The Power King/Economy King garden tractors also used Crosley Clutches ,Transmissions,and rear end center sections along with the Crosley Steering boxes.It seems that these little tractors got so popular that when Crosely ceased production the manufacturer of these components kept supplying the tractor manufacturer.I think the rep said Spicer was the supplier to Crosely
