Veering back to the thread (!) there was an agricultural Crosley, the "Farm
Or Road"  which was a jeep-looking vehicle with dual rear wheels and various
ag attachments.  "Mechanix Illustrated" did a test on it by road tester Tom
McCahill.

Among the "show & tell" items in my shop is one of the Crosley "Cobra"
motors  .  .  . the one which was built of copper-brazed sheet steel and
then galvanized!  It's a marvel . . weighs nothing!
