To My Fellow Club Members,
Many of you have known me for over 3 decades where I have proudly been a vendor at our national meets. Over these years I have appreciated all of the friendships and support this community has given me.
About a year and a half ago, I stepped away from my business to take care of personal matters. Also, during that time, a couple of friends and I created a website dedicated to sharing information, history, technical knowledge, and enthusiasm for our cars. The website, www.captivatedbycrosley.com is simply that - an additional resource for fellow Crosley owners and enthusiasts.
To address rumors directly, we are NOT starting a competing car club.
Our website has no membership, no dues, no meetings, no board of directors, and no intention of replacing or competing with any existing clubs. It is simply an additional support to the wonderful Crosley community.
Sadly, merely based on rumors, the Board of Directors of the CAC removed my vendor space at this year's National Meet in Wauseon, Ohio. This decision came as a surprise – NO warning, NO discussion, NO direct communication to me and this was extremely disappointing after 30 years of supporting the club and its members.
I am sharing this not to create division or encourage conflict, but because I believe the membership deserves to know the facts. My hope is that everyone will judge the situation based on the truth rather than on rumors and here say.
I remain passionate about these cars and grateful for the friendships I have gained over these many, many years. I sincerely hope we can continue to enjoy this Crosley world together, support each other and our cars, and respectfully treat each other fairly and honestly.
I anticipate re-starting Yankee Crosley operations in the fall. Look for updating posts on this page. Thank you to all of my Crosley friends for your understanding and continued support for our cars.
