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 around 1000 members world wide. The Crosley club helps bring together collectors of Crosley cars and other products of Powel Crosley. The club publishes 4 newsletters per year, the Crosley Quarterly and a roster of members every other year (new members get most recent roster). The club sponsors a National meet the second Saturday in July at the Fulton County Fair grounds in Wauseon, Ohio (old Exit 3) Exit 34 on the Ohio Turnpike. The show is now 3 days and officially starts on Thursday, with many showing up on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Crosley of the Month    Both of this months cars are repeat Crosley of the Month winners.  Skinny was last Summer, but I wanted to show how Paul Gorrell transports it to some of the shows.  The woody wagon was a Crosley of the Month last year in the restoration process. Paul's son, Duane, sent the following note with the photos: "This is how Skinny has went to several shows this summer! If I am not mistaken, it has rode 400 miles or so on the running board of the '25 Studebaker. Quit the sight going down the road or stopped." Paul also uses his stock Studebaker to tow a tailer with a Crosley on board for some shows. Says it stops faster with the trailer brakes. Paul's Woody was a big hit at the 2010 Nationals and he could not resist this little wooden boat that was for sale at the same Nationals.  It was built to carry extra luggage behind a small car. He has had a lot of fun showing them together with his two chickens Elvis and Henrietta.  The whole package draws a lot of attention.
