The tanker truck that Donald Wood overlooked: the Crosley Gasporter

On the Crosley Gang mailing list, member Louis Hudgin recently shared some photos from the family business, Grand Canyon Airlines. Why with a bunch of Crosley guys? Because in each of the photos, we see at work a Gasporter, a unique little vehicle built by Engineering Research Associates in St. Paul, Minnesota, on a Crosley chassis. The Gasporter took the idea of the tanker truck that Donald Wood just explored in yesterday’s SIA Flashback to its extreme – all tank, no cab. Thanks for the pics, Louis!

Four-Links – Alice Ramsey road trip, Royal Enfield road trip, Bedrock Weekend, Bugatti collection

* Alice Huyler Ramsey, a 22-year-old housewife, was the first woman to drive across the United States from coast to coast in June 1909. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the trip, two groups of women are following Ramsey’s tire tracks with a cross-continental trip of their own in a 1909 Cadillac and a 1915 Model T. Follow along on their blog to catch their progress.

* Another road trip, this one across India and on the back of a Royal Enfield motorcycle. And because roadtripper Gary Richards works for Mack and Volvo, he took plenty of pics of the highly decorated trucks plying the narrow roads in India.

* No, of course I can’t read Danish, but the language of crazy hot rodder is universal, and the Danish hot rodders seem plenty willing to toss their rods around an old gravel pit and listen to some rockabilly, as evidenced by the photos from their recent Bedrock Weekend. (via)

* This is a world-traveling Four-Links. First America, then India, then Denmark, and now to France, where H.A.M.B.ster James D visited the Schlumpf Bugatti collection in Mülhouse. Of course, it’s not just Bugattis, but there’s certainly a lot of that deep blue around the place.

* Finally, Bumbeck over at Clunkbucket found a topic near and dear to our hearts: small cars on a stick. In this case, it’s a Renault Dauphine in Bowling Green, Kentucky, being held up by a cartoonized transmission worker.
