Re: Thursday ice cream run
The fellow walking toward the car gave it a good looking over, turned toward us, and asked "where's the rest of it?" One of the better lines I've heard.
He turns out to be a collector of Triumphs

Rewiring 1952 Crosley Super SW
On the wiring diagram, I believe that the TR. notation on say WHITE - RED TR. means a White wire with a Red tracer mark.
However, can anyone tell mean what the CR. notation means on WHITE - BLK CR.

Re: Thursday ice cream run
Last time I was at Tiny’s, with my son Jeremy, late last Summer. No Crosleys. Guess that will have to do. Nearest Ice Cream stand to where we live in TN is about 20 miles away, long drive in a

Thursday ice cream run
Since we couldn't have the traditional run to Tiny's today, my wife and I hit up the local Carvel in honor of the date. We needed a couple dozen more Crosleys for it to look right.

Re: Free 1947 Sedan - NC
I lived in Charlotte for 22 years. I thought I had scrounged all the Crosleys there. Maybe someone brought it in after I left town.

If you could let him know that I'm interested and trying to get in touch, thatd be great. Here's hoping it isn't too late :)

Free 1947 Sedan - NC
The owner knows what he has here is his description. No engine.
"I realize it probably isn't worth the trouble of someone getting it but I want to try. The best thing about it is probably the "chrome"

Re: Torque Value for Crosley Lug Bolts
SAE and others set standard torque valve based on TPI and material. You can find 100s of sources showing these values on the internet.

Torque Value for Crosley Lug Bolts
I was asked the question of what the torque value for a Crosley lug bolt is and I didn't have an answer.
I told him that torquing wheel lugs is a fairly new thing and never thought of in the 40s and

Re: Hot Shot pops out of gear
I got the shifter rebuilt, now it stays in 2nd but comes out of 3rd still occasionally.
> The original Crosley shifter, never had a ball and spring, under the "cork plug". That was there just to keep

Re: Spark Plugs?
My 48 CC had Delco R43 plugs in it when I got it and seems to run good with them. I'm wondering if running R45 plugs would be better since they are have a higher heat range.

Re: Restoration tips for beginners
To add to what others have said , I kept a journal that I wrote in everyday on what I worked on and the hours it took, one suggestion would be to keep a page on things you notice that may need

Re: Restoration tips for beginners
Her is a little advice from someone who started the "take apart" part of my car 2 years ago, and am still in that phase. I am cleaning up and painting parts as I go along. Take pics of everything

Re: Restoration tips for beginners
Gabriel, I used lots of baggies and lots of tags. Label everything ! It took me 2 and 1/2 years to finish the 48 wagon. In that length of time, it is easy to forget what goes where.
