Paul Gorrell's 1941
Parkway Delivery at the 2003 Nationals
Two days later the restoration was underway. Can't wait to see the progress at the 2004 Nationals.
Don Hammond's 1941 Crosley Convertible Sedan presented to him by his kids on his 66th birthday in May 2003. Daughter Jenny (the baby of the family) will graduate from Mary Washington College in May 2004. That's her smiling behind the wheel. The 41 is just like the first car he owned when he was 15.
"The orange color is not original of course, but does make it a bit easier to see when I drive it. The neighbors and their children are all delighted to see little Blossom as she putters through the community and she never fails to attract a crowd when we stop. It usually takes a bit of Crosley Pre War History and answers to many questions before I can amble on, but Blossom never fails to leave smiles and waves behind her when we go!" Don lives in Fairfax County, Virginia.
You see some interesting displays at the Nationals. This
is Jak Phillip's load at the 2003 Nationals. Jak is from
Long Island NY. 
Here is John Buchanan's roundside with a nice flathead Ford displayed in the back. John brought his pickup down from Michigan for last years Nationals. That's Nancy, his wife, cleaning off the morning dew on Saturday morning.
The FarmORoad is the
SpotLight class at the 2004 Nationals. This is a nice one
from the 2003 Nationals. Not 100% sure but I think this
one belongs to Merle Tiger. 
You do see all kinds of Crosleys at the Nationals. Ted DellaCamera brought this one to last years Nationals. He even tried to set it on fire on Friday afternoon. Don't miss the excitement.
The FarmORoad
was the SpotLight class at the 2004 Nationals. This is a
Paul Gorrell's well equipped winner of that class. 
Paul believes he now has every attachment made for the FOR. More shots.

leave NY for the 2004 Nationals with Mike's 1950 Super
Wagon. 
They made it.
Joshua Gunn writes - "It is supposed to be a 1948. It has a Crosley engine, transmission, rear end, frame, and steering. This tractor was built by a Wisconsin man who wanted a good, strong snow plow. He used two 57' Chevy front fender that were trimmed and welded together to form a hood and grill. To reduce the speed, he added a planitary reduction. "
"I plan to restore this one of a kind wonder in the near future." Joshua is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Norm Jump, CAC Member #32 of Binghamton, NY
demonstrating his FarmOroad with Bar Mower at the Empire
Regional Meet this past Spring. 
Jeff Ackerman President of the region and host to the meet tried to get Norm to finish the field, but once around the pond would have to do.
Michael Bruno of Texas worked the past year getting his
49 Convertible road ready with a lot of help from many
people. "Special thanks Neal Daglow and Dave Edwards for
all their help. With out the help of Larry and Betty
Taylor I would not have my Crosley today and a loving wife
who has put up with a lot. 
With out the help of Larry and Betty Taylor I would not have my Crosley today and a loving wife who has put up with a lot. It sports a Neal Daglow custom AM/ FM Stereo 6 volt radio that can be heard for blocks when on. The custom car guys drool with the sound. Now I'm getting ready for the Great Race in Texas. It's going to be April 7th to 10th in 2005. If it stays running that long, hope to send pix when I enter, fingers crossed."
