Ex-Wife's Wagon...

 

I'm looking for a pick up. Actually, it's a friend that is. If you know of a good solid project, let me know. Does not need running gear.

 

There is a guy and his wife who hangs out at our car club in the winter every week who has an awesome Crosley wagon build, with I think a V6 Chevy in it. Just a spectacular car, but I have no pictures.

He's an old car guy that some of you might have heard of. His name is Dick.

I love old Crosleys! Only car you can drive around inside the garage.

 

love them, hope to own one before i drop dead
old pict...

 

more...

 

I love Crosleys! Always wanted a sedan one or a wagon. Preferably the same body style you've got. Great car! Put it on a K5 Blazer chassis!

 

My daddy worked at the factory in 51-52, he told me they did drive the Hot Shots in the factory.......

Mine is running good, I am driving my more and more but at 45 MPH...it takes a few minutes to get around

 

Dad's cut-down wagon was used mostly around the farm for fixing fence and stuff. The engine came out of an old military generator. It ran awesome! It could have used more gears, but seemed to really go if you kept it wound up.

 

barn find, that thing is unbelievably cool.
I like the little pickups too.

 

saw one ay a show in fortwayne in. car had a kubota diesel in it, street car, noy sure of what gear box he had in it, but he said it would get with it on the highway! i have a 48 wagon im putting on a 98 inch rail chassis.

 

Saw this custom on Hemmings.

 

A little bit of diesel torque and the right gears would go a long way in a little tin can like that.

 

I was watching that one- nice car, and congratulations!

You're not too far from the biggest annual gathering of Crosleys in the world: the Crosley Auto Club Meet in Wauseon, Ohio. They usually get around a hundred cars. Happens every July.. this year is July 11-13. Details on the CAC page: http://crosleyautoclub.com/

cool car!

 

had a crosley truck,had a guy basically call me a liar saying they never made a pic-up.i love folks who know more about my car than i do! sorry rant over.

 

Dad's Crsoley project started with this old Air Force generator I bought for $25. The Crosley engine inside ran, se we pulled it and put it in the little wagon pictured above.

 

nice find. i live about 16 miles from wauseon oh. the wife and i went to the dairy queen for a cone earlier and seen a bunch running around town. there was some nice ones in the bunch.

 

When I think of "a bunch" of Crosleys running around. I imagine them doing figure -eights in the streets like shriners in a parade.

 

I've got one. But it's been "repurposed" as they say.

 

Keep them coming.......I'm thinking of a Crosley or Austin wagon for the girlfriend in the future.
