    LOVE THE VIDEO. Before I was born my mother was determined to get her driver's license but my dad wouldn't take her to take her driving test. She got one of her friends to take her in the family Crosley. She took the test. At the end of her test she asked if she had passed and the tester said she had passed and could come in for the paperwork. She got in her excitement she pulled the parking brake SO hard, it stuck. She had to call my dad to come get it unstuck.....HE WAS Furious!!

    My father had a Crosley Hot Shot. It was painted chartreuse with a red and black plaid top. I'm 78 now and learned to drive stick in this car when I was 14 years old. Great Memories

    My Dad in the 50's built a ATV of sorts using the chassis of a Crosley. I wish I had the pictures of it. The story was he had a hood for a Lincoln welder and other various parts and found the chassis. My brother was handy with fibreglass and made the gas tank and created an attachment for a half-track that would attach in front of the rear wheels with a belt made from cut tires connected together with chain links. Oh and other parts bear mentioning he had an instrument panel from a 1939 Buick and an ignition that was mounted on the steering column from a Hudson Terraplane. The seat backs front and back were from Army surplus Jeeps. Dad used it several years on hunting trips and in between I drove it... a lot! What memories!

    What fun to see these two Crosley models! I didn't know about the "Farm O Road"; looks like a nifty, and versatile, little vehicle! Somewhere I have an old photo w/ our family's (before I was born) pale yellow Crosley station wagon; reportedly, they moved an old, square piano (on the roof, I think!) with it, and drove it in some of the Washington, D.C. area road ralleys in the early '50s. My Mom had a friend, who had a Hotshot, which was "held together with Scotch tape", my Mom would joke...

    The crank was broken in FIVE places and he was still driving it! That must have been an interesting conversation between him and the engine rebuilder! And an even more interesting conversation starter/piece!

      Correct! Crosley cars were Not produced in Cincinnati...The first factory for the cars was in Richmond Indiana 1939-42 Pre-war...during wwii the factory converted to military vehicles and then post war from 1946-52 they were built in Marion Indiana...The radios and shelvadoor refrigerators and other devices were in Cincinnati at the home office...

    How were Crosleys sold back in the day? I remember adds for them in Popular Mechanics and Popular Science when I was a boy in the late '40s and '50s but don't recall any other sales outlet. A few would be present on the roads but not very abundant in central Kansas.

    The first american sports car, and I'm more than OK with that. I'm looking at a red 1949 Crosley wagon, and another 1948 coupe. great little cars haha. Since I live in the city , so it would make a good first car for me. wish me luck! I've already found those two under $5000

    Hello: Hi Chuck great video. The kid in me would like a FarmORoad. But the people on old Rt. 11, Robert E. Lee Hwy. the road I live on run 60 MPH. I have watched Rt. 11 go from 1 two lane road to 10 lanes in front of the house. It carries 2 Interstates of traffic. Have a Nice Day
