Crosley Speedster Adventure

Ride along for a long 126-mile adventure in my Crosley Speedster!

On August 31, 2024 I drove my 72-year-old Crosley on a 126-miles round trip from my home near Green Bay up to Marinette, Wisconsin to meet a friend at a car show. That's a big trip for a little car with just 26.5 horsepower.

Ride along and learn a bit about some small Wisconsin towns and what it's like to drive an antique car in modern city traffic and on scenic back roads.

Apologies for the wind noise. There's a lot of airflow on an open speedster at 40mph. I should really get a better microphone.
