It's a feature of this forum software that allows YouTube (and other? not sure) videos to appear right in the body of the post. It works just like embedding pictures or links; you click the appropriate icon, paste an ugly looking string into the box, and presto. The STi forum I'm on has it enabled.

I think that's one of the cool things about this little car. It attracts people across all kinds of boundaries; age, gender, nationality. Oh -- and you have me beat by about 15 years.
Speaking of Crosleys, apparently the car's engine greatly outlived the car itself. According to Wikipedia:
Quote:
The CIBA (Crosley Cast Iron Block Assembly) was a more traditional and more reliable engine utilizing a cast-iron block. When Crosley Motors, Inc. was sold, the engine was renamed "AeroJet" and production continued. Production of the AeroJet ended in 1955 and the engine rights were sold to Fageol and later to a series of different companies ending in 1972 with the Fisher Pierce Bearcat 55. Maritime modifications mostly included increasing displacement and converting the engine to run with a vertical axis.
In Europe the Crosley CIBA would be used to great advantage in 750cc sports car class, eventually maturing to a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) design used in the Bandi 750 [2] as well as Nardi and Siata customs.
