Crosley Motors Incorporated had its main office and engineering facility in Cincinnati Ohio, with assembly plants in Richmond Indiana (1939-1942) and Marion Indiana (1946-1952). The Crosley automobile was the brain child of Powel Crosley, who had already made his fortune as a radio and appliance manufacturer, owner of WLW the "Nation's Station" and the Cincinnati Reds baseball team. Crosley Corporation - Current appliance company Crosley Radio Corporation - Current radio company	Crosley Automobile Club was founded in 1969 and has over 1000 members world wide.

In mid 90 degree weather that was a hot ride. Crosley of the Month If you drive 329 miles in a Crosley with no support team, a tow bar might be useful.  I can see Jim with his thumb beside the road looking for a vehicle with a hitch. Jim's display was reenacted the art work he did 30 years earlier for the 1981 show.  The old photo shown with the art work was Jim's first Crosley in 1966.

2010 Summary of Nationals Wednesday - July 7th Sauder Village Trip - small group caravanned over including two Crosleys Museum Trip to Auburn, IN, - several car loads had a fun time in Auburn Thursday - July 8th Hospital/Nursing Home Visitation - we were watching the skies for rain but still had a nice showing of Crosleys for the residences along with handing on frozen treats. Kids’ Activities - seemed to be a big hit Fireside Chat - smaller than normal due to rain and wet firewood but those that came had fun.  Earlier we had 2 3/4 inches of rain in about 2 hours. Crosley Drive-In Movie (fairgrounds) - Fun for young and old Friday - July 9th Flea Market & Car Corral - Good turn out with some major collections changing hands. CAC Trading Post - small but constantly changing items, picked up a couple of good deals. Craft Sale - most who had booths reported good sales Board of Directors Meeting - bylaws update approved for full membership vote, assorted other club business discussed. National Orphan Car Presentation by Expert/Author Patrick Foster - well attended Skill-A-Thon Games - new location and some new games Ask the Experts - I missed these sessions but heard they were good Road Rally - smaller than past years but still a nice parade, one of the police that escorted us said they always enjoy Crosley week and never have any trouble from our group and are happy to have us. Informal Discussion - well attended, vendors gave review of new products, and general discussions Crosley Drive-In Movie - Fun for young and old "Cars" was played Saturday - July 10th Show Field Opens - something new this year, each car was photographed before parking on the show field. Not sure what they will be used for yet but we are assured of having all the winners this way.  Show car attendance was down a little from past years, not sure the reasons but could easily count about half the missing cars from members bringing fewer cars or flea market items instead of cars. Flea Market & Car Corral - less busy than Friday but still a lot of money changing hands. Seemed like more cars for sale this year.  Saw a few sold. Silent Auction to Benefit CAC - many donated items found new  homes and the club made approximately $1700 to help cover meet expenses. CAC Trading Post - continued Craft Sale - continued Crosley Talk by Automotive Writer Patrick Foster - well attended Collector Talk by Paul Gorrell - well attended, Paul drove his freshly restored PreWar woody wagon into the building and used it as a prop for his talk on collecting and restoring Crosleys along with his appearance on the Pickin Show. Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony - Dave Anspach was re-elected President and Kap Kapraun was elected to a sitting director from appointed replacing Deane Sherman, who will be a liaison between Fair board and our board.  The new treasurer, Chuck Koehler was introduced.  Kap reviewed changes and updates to the by-laws and they were approved.  Awards were handed out. Banquet - Well attended, lots of good food and talk, as we got ready to leave Wauseon for another year.
