After planning to build a flathead MOPAR engine for two years, I recently found a '51 Crosley coupe at a price I couldn't turn down.

The engine runs, but I'm going to go through it before I get out on the road. Hopefully, I'll have it roadworthy before the Jalopy Jamboree next spring.

The last Crosley engine I rebuilt was in '59, so I've got to get a shop manual and find locations for parts.

If anyone knows of a set of doors, with roll-up windows and little, or no rust, I'd like to buy a pair. The ones I have are rusty and will require a lot of work to make 'em presentable. Rest of the car is pretty good.

Anyway, would like to hear from anyone with Crosley experience.


Lord, let me live long enough to do all the projects I have planned!
