My Uncle, D.W. Bridges, was the Crosley dealer in Honolulu and watched the Japs bomb Pearl Harbor. Used a Station Wagon as his demonstrator.  He was 6' 7" and a bit of change, and used this as an answer to the complaint of 'they're too small'.  What he didn't tout was, he had the mechanic remove the driver's seat and move it rearward several inches so he could get in the thing.  I've seen him, as a small child, drive up to the curb at our house nose on, and then walk around back and pick up the back of the little car and carry it around so it's properl;y parked.   He was such a cheapskate that, when he closed out the dealership, he brought his unsold stock back to the mainland.  Two Hotshots, a Station Wagon, and a Convertible.  He gave my older brother the Convertible as a gift, it soldiered through high school and a year of college.  One migh say Powell Crosley was way ahead of his time, or out in never - never land.  "Synchronizers?  We
don't need no steekin synchronizers!"

Rob,

With all that leather I can't see the tattoo!

I am reminded that you can take the boy out of the country but you can't
take the country out of the boy.

Let's see. You like Harleys, GMCs, VWs, etc. Have you given Crosley a
thought? Just wondering.

BTW, I visited the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum yesterday. They had a
Crosley on the floor. I didn't remember the engine and transmission being
so small. The museum has a lot of interesting history on display and well
done, too.

I can tell you don't believe in Grecian Formula. Hah.

Byron
