 If you prefer American cars over those from Europe, but still favor small over large, then consider owning a Crosley. Think about this: Most Crosleys were about 145 inches long, which is just 12 feet in length; overall heights run around 49 inches, or about four feet. Weight? Try about 1,155 pounds, which is nearly 500 pounds lighter than an MG Midget. Horsepower? Well, one certainly never bought a Crosley for its performance ability, but if you can live with 26.5 horsepower, then all’s well.
Crosley company founder and president Powel Crosley Jr. believed wholeheartedly in the American dream, and said, “I believe that every American who can afford any car should have an opportunity to buy a brand new, truly fine car.” One of the company brochures outlined his belief: “And Mr. Crosley dreamed of a new type of car – a car not based on old-fashioned ideas or prejudices, but a new kind of car. A light car. A sensible car. A car that would do its job of getting you there economically and comfortably. The result: The new, fine Crosley.”
For when classic autos need to be small and sensible, not Sunday driver status symbols.
