Crosley

Industrialist Powel Crosley, Jr., of Cincinnati, Ohio, owner of Crosley Broadcasting Corporation and the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, had ambitious plans to build a subcompact car and with the able assistance of his younger, graduate engineer brother Lewis Crosley, developed assembly plants at Richmond, Indiana, and Marion, Indiana. In May 1939, the first car was shown at the Indianapolis Speedway. It was a two-door convertible that weighed under 1,000-pound (454 kg) and sold for US$250. It did not achieve sales success, but in 1941 more body styles were introduced. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosley_HotShot

This was the one sporting the Nash mascot.

104 degrees yesterday ... a new record for the day and the month! - Amazingly detailed restoration - Built by Overland Amusement as an amusement park ride in 1952 - Hook and ladder trailer holds up to 30 kids - Brings smiles to kids of all ages - Working lights and siren

I ran across this on my bike ride this evening. Looks like a good way to save gas. Crosley station wagon cut down into a pickup.

And mounted on the hood of a Crosley!
