Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Very funny Boog. No, it has four mice! I'm pretty sure it has whatever engine they put in Crosley cars, which I believe was a small 4-banger, like around 800-1000cc.

I just checked into it. After WWII they used the military 4cyl with double the pre-war HP. It has 26.5hp!!! The cars got 35 mpg

A friend of mine had one of the station wagons when I lived in Davenport, IA. We used to drive it down the sidewalks.....

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I had a chance to buy a Crosley pickup. The guy had taken it all apart and did all the bodywork. And he did a really good job. But he had lost interest and it was at his mom's house and she wanted it gone. He was practically giving it away dirt cheap. The "Get it out of here" price.

But I lived in an apartment. I had nowhere to put it. So I had to pass. The story of my life. Great deal. No space.

Couldn't he just hide it behind the shrubbery in front of the house?

Hey, I just realized Chevyland's wishes for this thread are being sidetracked. I did take the first Crosley picture, though.

Looky what I took last summer. I drove by this place on my way in to pick up a load of cinder block I bought. Stopped in on my way out for a sandwich. It was a great experience, so I stopped in the other two trips. Star Tannery, VA in the foothills of the mountains

A few from Thanksgiving. This is near Dadeville, AL and Lake Martin. The tower was on a hiking trail we hit that morning. In the second photo you can see what's left of the original District office shown in the story board in the last picture.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Crosley made fridges too ,, my folks had one that lasted for 40 years

The Crosley brand title went from existence 1956 until revitalized by the new Crosley Corporation starting in 1976. Powel Crosley, Jr., an American inventor and businessman, initially started selling Crosley appliances in 1930.

He made cars and consumer products, such as radios, before his firm went out of business from the 1950s because of insufficient profit.

A bulldozer Good one.

You just picked up quite a few dollars there. Not to mention the civic duty of saving many tires from an early demise
