Much like the Corvair cult of north america. Not that the car is very fast or attractive, but something about the thing makes the pulse race and the eyes open when one sees another on the open road. I can understand the love and respect the FOB or barn prize.
Nicely done! My father regrets selling his '48 sedan, Hot Shot and Super Sports but still has a wagon and Farm-O-Road, his first car was the pre-war 2 cyl. And he drove his IL to TX and then CA in the 1950's, getting 49.9 across the flatlands, and almost drove one back from AK but the car dealer finally gave him what he wanted. Thanks for being so understanding of Crosley fans.
Loved the video! I had some of these in the early 80's - had a 51 Super Sport that was a blast to drive, found it by accident chatting with an old timer at an auto parts store! Also had found two 51 wagons and a 49 sedan acquired via "horse trading". Sold 'em all in 1984 after I had left home for my first real job. Wish I had them back!
Great video. I owned a 1951 Crosley station wagon back in the late 1960's to early 70's. Really a unique and fun car that always got comments everywhere you went. It got about 40 miles per gallon. It had a top speed of about 60-65mph and would cruise at 50 with a 44 cubic inch single overhead cam 4 cylinder engine that developed 26.5 hp.
Well done video! I hope you don't mind, I re-posted this on our band's website crosleyhotshot (dot) com.
Hope it's gotten a lot of traction for you :)

What a wonderful little love story. Not of the Crosley; of, and for, her boyfriend.

Collecting old cars is a "fun and family" hobby.
You should be glad your man has such a great hobby!
This is from a guy who collects early Japanese cars (Honda Scamps etc.)
My family tolerate my hobby but realize how much enjoyment I get from it.

This is a well done video. I remember Crosleys when I was a kid. Always wished I had one. Oh well I guess I'm to old now. God Bless walt407
