A couple of oldies
this month. I didn't have my normal 2 shots of the same car but really
liked these two vintage shots.

I
was looking at your site and pulled out this picture of my dad's old
Crosley. He owned a North American Van Lines outfit in
Bloomington, Indiana, and this was the car the packers used when they
boxed up all the family's belongings before a move. On the back it says
"Wife Approved Movers". This picture was probably taken in the mid-50's
because it was a 1957 Ford Ranchero that replaced this car.

my dad, Howard Hoelter looking off into the future in 1949. I'm not
sure of the location other than it's probably the Chicago area. I don't
think he ever pushed the Crosley very far. He often told the story of
almost freezing when he drove it to his wedding in northern Indiana in
Feb of 49.

 From the 1972
CAC Nationals
our Founding President John Aibel and his family sitting in Alvin
Holsopple's FarmOroad. We haven't seen John for a long time, he is till
a member. The FOR hasn't missed more than one or two shows
since
1972. It is now owned by Alvin's son John.

 From the 1979
Nationals, our
Senior Director Deane Sherman with his award winning 1948
Sedan.
He hasn't missed a Nationals since 1973, the car was sold a few years
ago to Tom McDowell, our Rocky Mountain Region President. The
48,
now called Bugger, has made a few trips back for the
Nationals. Old timers may be able
to
pick out some other people and cars in the background.

Lafayette, La
owns this nice 48 Convertiable, he sent me the official
picture, I got the above shot from another member showing Kyle Pirtle
pumping iron. Yet another advantage to owning Crosley, you always have
a gym with you.

 Nice clean interior complete with stock radio. Here is a shot of the rear. |
 This nice 51 Super
