The first production car with disc brakes was a Crosley. The first Sebring race winner was also a Crosley. And yet hardly anyone in this country remembers these innovative American small cars, they were even ridiculed in Europe. Yet the Crosley engines already had overhead camshafts and an output of 36 hp per liter of displacement in 1946. This report tells the unusual story of the Crosley cars and shows a station wagon from 1951 in many photos, along with historical photographs and other models from the range at the time.
