1949 Crosley Hot Shot Roadster

    1949 Crosley Hot Shot Navigation
    The 1949 Crosley Hotshot is America's first volume production sports car. Its small engine made 26.5 horsepower, but its overhead cam and displacement of only three-quarters of a liter (750cc) were remarkable. It had a non-detachable cylinder head and five main crankshaft bearings. With an 85-inch wheelbase, these tiny, light, and nimble cars provided frisky performance and handling characteristics. A Crosley Hotshot even topped the Index of Performance at Sebring in 1950. Perhaps best of all, the Hotshot retailed for less than $1000.
