1952 Crosley Series CD Super Station Wagon

Powel Crosley, a manufacturer of radios and refrigerators, began manufacturing automobiles in 1940. The Crosley cars were tiny, quirky, and advertised as 'America's most needed car.' By the early 1950s, sales were slow. The last Crosley line was introduced in 1951 and would remain essentially unchanged until production ended in July, 1952. On March 28th, 1953, Crosley Motors merged with Aerojet Engineering Company of Azusa, California, both companies being members of the General Tire and Rubber Company.

This Series CD Super is one of 1355 station wagons produced in 1952. It has an 80-inch wheelbase and weighs just 1,480 pounds. The 44 cubic-inch engine produces 25.5 horsepower.
