1950 Crosley Series CD Station Wagon

The Crosley Automobile Company was novel from day one of production. Originally built with an air-cooled 2-cylinder engine, the post-war models advanced with the stout 26.5 horsepower overhead valve cast iron engines offered in a wide variety of body styles.

Station wagons (originally named from horse-drawn wagons that would take you from train stations to rural outposts) had emerged as a growing market segment, and Crosley followed suit with their first offering in 1949. The stylish wagon could be ordered with two-toned interiors, chrome trim, and optional features - winning the hearts and frugal wallets of many cost-conscious middle-class suburbanites.

Restored to a high standard by the current owners, this Station Wagon features rare options, including a sun visor, heater, ashtray, fender skirts, Crosley radio, and 6-inch vacuum fans. Shown only since the restoration was completed in April 2012, it earned 1st place at the 2012 Crosley Nationals.
