1949 Crosley Station Wagon

Crosley was a small, independent American Auto manufacturer of Subcompact cars starting all the way back in 1939, and was active until 1952 with the interruption of WWII, that was probably the beginning of the end. However, Crosley had a lot of firsts, not to mention a American Microcar. A couple of some “firsts” is that they were the first affordable, mass market car with overhead camshafts, the first term of the “Sports-Utility” and the first to be fitted with a 4-wheel caliper type disc brakes just to mention a few. They were also very light-weight making them fuel-efficient. This particular Station Wagon appears to have had a re-spray and some restoration done many years ago and would consider this a driver quality automobile that starts very easy, idles nicely, shifts, brakes and goes down the road as you would expect of a microcar from nearly 75 years ago! Furthermore, the all the lights work, has a heater and the glass is all there with working sliding windows. The paint is average at best, the interior is ok, but this is a complete running and driving example of something you don't see everyday. Its quite fun to drive!
