As mentioned above, YFE saw several interesting cars and one LBC on the return drive from Bowie, MD, over 8-9 May. However, this one took the prize as THE Most Entertaining Vehicle of the eight-day patrol back east: a dual-ended 1948 Crosley, parked out back of the Dog ‘n Suds in Lafayette, IN.

You know, if I knew anything about Crosleys I’d look into acquiring this, er, classic (hulk?) and see about getting it road-worthy again. Shoot, I’d even consider getting the MG Doc to stuff a 1275cc in it, replacing the Crosley’s original 724cc SOHC COBRA engine.

Oh, and Dog ‘n Suds? Great burger and root beer, as always. If anyone’s interested, the nearest survivor of this once wide-spread chain is in Cherokee Pass, south of Fredericktown on US 67 at Cherokee Pass. The food is doggone good (hey, that’s what the t-shirts say!).
