1949 Crosley Hot Shot Video
The video presents a brief Crosley history along with highlighting this 1949 Hot Shot. A well-presented video by auto analyst, Rick DeBruhl, is efficiently well-paced. It is fairly comprehensive with its brief overview of other Crosley models as well. Further, it presents a positive historical review of the brand — noting the usual “ahead of its time”…features.

Newport Antique Auto Hill Climb
October 2, 3 and 4, 2026 · Newport, Indiana
You'll see a massive display of antique, vintage, steam, brass and classic cars, plus trucks and motorcycles, all pushing up an 1,800-foot hill in timed runs — and a classic car show throughout the town.
Newport, Indiana — population barely 550 — turns into one of the largest festivals in the state every autumn. Cars make their runs from a standing start, and better than 100,000 people turn out to watch.
The first climb was run in 1909, faded away after 1915, and was reborn in 1968 as the Newport Lions Club's major fundraiser. It's now the third-largest motorsports event in Indiana, behind only the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard.
When
Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 4, 2026
Where
240 S. Main Street, Newport, IN 47966
Hosted By
The Newport Lions Club
