In looking at my rules, I didn't say the Crosley of the Month had to have an engine or be from the automotive division of Crosley. The rules do say I get to pick. |
The name of the owner of this interesting Crosley trailer was not submitted, but I thank Bill Hossfield for sending me the pictures. Now you know what to do with that old Crosley frig in the barn. |
Bill Angert's 51 Sedan Delivery. |
He won his class at the 2002 Nationals in Wauseon. |
 I need help on this one. This Crosley is in Brazil and this is the letter that came with it. "This is my 1952 Crosley Jeep Super. I spent almost six years restoring it. I think it is the only one of this model here in Brazil. I'm from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. I would like to receive more information about this model. May you help Thanks for your attention."

 Well it is obviously a Farm-O-Road variant, but was it factory for export or a nice custom many years ago? Note: doors, tailgate and one piece body. I have corresponded or talked to 5 Crosley collectors from Brazil this year, isn't the Internet wonderful. |

This is Jak "Phamily" Phillips Little Phoot monster truck from Long Island. |
Note the outboard motor for when he really gets in deep. Nice mud job Jak. |

 The current owner, Tim
Freshley, has finished a lengthy restoration and
brought it to the FL Regional Meet.

Owner Tim Freshley with Bobby Deshon, one of the two drivers of #19 in the Sebring Race. |
 Bobby Deshon with his son in #19, this was the first reunion of car and driver since the race. |
 Ronald Clarke is the owner of this nice Skorpion, he is in Paradise Valley AZ. It is a 52 that came out of St. Louis from Hyman Ltd. He had it stripped and redone by Ragtop Motors in Scottsdale AZ. The engine is as nice as the car. |
 The Skorpion was primarily a after
market fiberglass body supplier for several chassiss.
They also made a few factory assembled cars
|
 Surfs Up A touch of summer for us in the Northern
states. I don't know much about this months Crosley but
it is owned by Karl Sonder's of Florida. This is a
great example of wood graining gone wild.
The dash
and steering wheel are also done.

 This 48 Sport Utility was shown at the
1985 CAC National Meet. The owner sent me this
information.

 My Dad Larry Rittenhouse bought
the car in the late 70s and gave it to me. I painted it
the olive drab and made it look like an Army vehicle, it
is now setting in the shed out back waiting to be redone
with some of my other projects. Geoff Rittenhouse

 This is a factory made electric Crosley. It was made around 1942 for Powel Crosley's grandson Lew's birthday. |
 This was at the 1977 Nationals.
Lew had just finished a full restoration.
Click here for a picture of the engine. |
 This was a new for me, this is a 1953 Giaur (pronounced Jow-er, like you would say power, only with a "J"), made in Italy. It is the Champion model 750 and is one of only three that remain of the roughly 13 that were built of this variation. Giaur made about 50 cars but most of them Fiat/Gianinni modified engined cars that put out roughly 40hp. The body work is aluminum and the fenders are removable to run in two classes of races. |
 It has a highly modified Crosley variant
engine
(probably one of the large block late engines) as it
dyno test shows it putting out 77hp at 9500rpms.
The car raced in Italy and in US in H modified by Challmers
Hall and Walter Walton. The Giaur is owned by
Raffi Minasian <rmdesign@nni.com>, please contact
him if you have any information on the car or any
questions.

 Paul Gorrell brought this unique commercial vehicle to the Nationals back in 1983. |
 No the picture wasn't flipped it is right hand drive. |
 Jim Oliver's 47 roundside at the 2003
Nationals, fresh from a complete restoration. This
was a complete surprise for me. This is the
roundside that my best friend owned that we drove
everywhere in high school.

 That's Dave in the blue/green T-shirt
with the big smile above. If you want to see what
Dave and the pickup looked like in 1964 click here and scroll

 Steve DiMartino of Lexington, Kentucky is the owner creator of this very "HOT", Hot Shot. This roadster was widened and dropped on full custom frame with a small block Ford engine. |
 The extra width makes a very nicely proportioned sports car/street machine. These shots were taken at the 2001 Nationals but it was back again in 2002. |
