Pictures from 2016 West Coast Crosley Club Meet, Buellton CA

Another West Coast Crosley Club annual meet has come and gone. An assortment of Crosley faithful gathered in Buellton, California for a two day meet, October 8-9.  Featured were all the usual WCCC Annual Meet events: swap meet, car show, club dinner, and raffle.  We reprised last year's successful 60-mile Crosley Cruise on Sunday, and member Mike Blackburn led the way to the Buellton Museum of Petroliana on Saturday afternoon.

Here are some pics from the meet - let me know if you have some more photos to contribute!
