Antiquer12 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hello all! I am trying to identify a car for possible purchase that says it is a Crosley but it doesn’t look like any Crosley I’ve seen. The serial number in the engine compartment identifies it as a 1948 Crosley CC model, but I have not found one that looks like this. Checked on the Crosley forum here and doesn't sound like it is a Crosley. The tail end makes me believe that it is another type of car. I have been trying to identify through the back chrome piece in the pictures below. Has anyone seen a car body similar to this? Trying to figure out if it was one someone pieced together or if it is a car body I am not familiar with. Any information would be appreciated.

keiser31 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It looks quite homemade to me. The "boattail" looks like the hood of a 1940 Hudson. The nose looks like part of a 1939 Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
