Sam,
If your car has disc brakes, it's probably a '49-'50. If it has 9" hydraulic brakes it's a late '50 up to '52...which was the end for Crosley. Before that, they had 6" mechanical brakes.... scary! If you need any parts, Service Motors, or Yankee Crosley are good to ship fast.
Hoyt,
I had chatted with Jack Chaote before. Nice fellow. Thanks for responding
Stock '49.
Thanks for the site!
Frenchtown,
As a kid growing up in Florida, I remember Crosley-powered hydroplanes. They were screamers! At Daytona, they had Hot Shot rental cars for driving up and down the beach. I'll bet that little race car was a blast to drive!
I bought a Crosley wagon in late '58 for $20. Drove it until I went into the Army, in early '59... never spent a dime on it. Funny thing is, the twenty dollar one was in better shape than the sedan I just paid $1,800 for!
