A little bit country – Crosleys embrace farm theme

I know I missed a lot by not attending the Crosley Auto Club’s national meet a couple weeks ago, but the photos that club webmaster Jim Bollman has posted to the club’s website helped a little with filling me in on the happenings. One microtheme I noticed in the photos was a tendency to mix Crosleys into a farming theme. Does it come from the fact that Crosleys are often found in barns nowadays, as the wagon above displays?

Or maybe it’s because Crosleys hail from Ohio, up there in the grain belt?

Or maybe it’s just because Crosley people are a little off-kilter?

Morning, woodie

We never know what we’ll see in the Hemmings parking lot, and one recent morning was no exception. Josh Recave of Falmouth, Massachusetts, stopped by on his way to a woodie gathering in Waterloo, New York, hauling his Campbell-bodied 1942 Plymouth Deluxe woodie station wagon. Josh knows it’s a rather rare bird, and he said he’d like to finish the restoration some day (the wood was redone in 1992), but we think it’s great, Driveable Dream material as is. In fact, we may just shoot it for HCC, so keep your eyes peeled there for more of the woodie.
