SPECIFICATIONS Year 1951 Make Crosley Model Hotshot Super Roadster VIN VC10359 Mileage 18 Engine 44ci Cylinders 4 cly Transmission 3 Speed Title Clear Color Pale Mint Green Interior Color Red Vinyl DESCRIPTION Powell Crosley Junior was the owner of Crosley Broadcasting. Crosley Radios. Crosley Refrigerators. and the Cincinnati Reds; he also wanted to sell cars of his own design. With help from his younger brother Lewis. a trained engineer. the first Crosley automobile was created and priced at just $250. Nearly 5. 00 examples were built before America entered World War II and production ceased. After the war production resumed and in 1949. the Hot Shot roadster was introduced and is classified as America's first postwar sports car. Returning GI's wanted something small and fun like the cars they saw in Europe and these small vehicles carried a price tag of just $900. that's less than half the cost of Chevrolet's base model. They backed up their hefty 'sports car' title by winning the Index of Performance and taking overall victory at the first Sebring 6-hour race in 1950. Other victories included the 1951 Swiss Grand Prix and second in the 1951 Tokyo Grand Prix. The engines built by Crosley were used to carry other racing specials. including those built by Bandini. Moretti and Siata. Crosley engines even made their way into marine applications and powered several boats during the 1950's!! Sadly less than a few thousand Hotshots' were produced and even less remain today. Weighing only 1180 pounds and powered by a 44ci 4-cly engine with a 3-speed manual transmission the little Hotshot was capable of 75mph in stock trim.

We are proud to present the finest 1951 Crosley Hotshot Super we have ever seen!! When your day to day life is viewing collector cars you tend to be extremely picky. In our staff's opinion this is the nicest Crosley in the world. or at least the best we have ever seen to date!! The car was completely and professionally restored in a nut and bolt rotisserie fashion. Every screw. every bolt. every component of the car was reconditioned to the highest level possible. and back to factory specifications! The car was painted in a Pale Mint Green with Black stayfast canvas convertible top. and Red vinyl interior. The car is complete with Crosley AM radio. Convertible top. matching spare tire. hydraulic brakes. glove box and display card.
