The 1947-1948 Crosley Convertible & Wagon was the first of the postwar Crosleys. still on an 80-inch wheelbase but more than two feet longer and looking more "grownup" with new flush-fender styling. Production commenced June 1946. but cars built that year -- convertibles and sedans only -- were technically '47s.


1947 Crosley convertible.

A new-design woody wagon. pickup. and panel delivery went on sale during 1947. Big news was a new water-cooled engine with twice the cylinders and double the power of the prewar twin -- the five-main-bearing copper-brazed "CoBra" four used in wartime machines from refrigerators to Mooney Mite airplanes. Alas. its copper-steel block was prone to chemical corrosion that necessitated early rebuilds (most before 60. 00 miles). so a near-identical CIBA unit (Cast-Iron Block Assembly) was substituted in early 1949. though many 1947-1948 cars have this retrofitted.
