Thread: Rare little Car

Tweet

When I was a kid I actually owned two of them, a station wagon and a sedan as I remember. They also made the pickup you show and a sportscar, the HotShot. I always wanted one of those.

I remember one of the Crosleys I owned had that brazed engine and someone had tried to repair the block using black stuff that I think was Black Magic body filler (remember THAT STUFF) I was about 12 or 13 and neither one ran, but I sat inside and would slide the windows open and sit in there for hours, dreaming of the day I would have them running. Never did, and I think the junk man took them away when my Mom figured out we had reached our car quota in the yard.

These were the creation of the same Crosley guy who made radios. Funny part was, I don't think either of my Crosleys HAD A RADIO.

The pickup you show is really really nice. Good job he did on the resto.

The man's name was Powell Crosley and he made major and small appliances and also owned the Cincinnati Reds in the 50's.
