  3. MO,
    That Crosley is just cool. I have always wanted to build one just so I could say that I did. I got an olds motor today that would be a perfect for a crosley wagon.

    Those little coupes/sedans are great too! Here's one from an earlier thread:

    The stance on this one is kind of low for a Rocket motor-era car, but I can't think of a better choice of engines.
    Start looking!
     
  5. I haven't seen a crosley for sale for a long time. last one I saw was a gagon converted to a salad bar, it would have been an easy fix to make it into a body again but that is the last one I saw.

    I actually never stop looking for just the right thing. there are a few that would make me happy no doubt but Crosley is very high on the list.

    Crosley high on your list...How about Crosley high on a pole? LOL.
    This one got a restoration by Marty Martino and was re-erected on a shorter pole, after neighborhood support (championed by Lea @" Still Runnin' " magazine) spared it from removal, due to re-zoning regulations.

  7. John Batto's Crosley has always been one of my favorites.
