Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to present this 1951 Crosley Super Sport for sale!
Crosley was a small, independent American manufacturer of subcompact cars, bordering on microcars. At first, called the Crosley Corporation and later Crosley Motors Incorporated, the Cincinnati, Ohio, firm was active from 1939 to 1952, interrupted by World War II production. Crosley introduced several "firsts" in American automotive history, including the first affordable, mass-market car with an overhead camshaft engine in 1946. In 1950, Crosley introduced disc brakes on their cars. Crosley made many different body styles from the same chassis. In 1949, Crosley introduced the Hotshot, a tiny, doorless sports car that was highly successful in racing. A fancier version with doors is the super sports you see here. This car will achieve 0 - 60 mph in approximately 20 seconds- amazing for a car this size. Pound for pound, some say the Crosley super sports is one of the greatest sports cars ever built.
This Super Sport has a yellow exterior with red vinyl interior. 3 speed manual transmission with a 26.5hp 4 cylinder engine. Very interesting car to drive.
