Who came first, the Bug eyed Sprite or it's look alike  Crosley Super Sport?

 

 

The Crosley HotShot came first by about 9 years (1949). A Super Sport is just a HotShot with doors. Sort of. It's complicated, and I can't remember all the if ands or buts. A Super Sport is also slightly newer, but still way before the Sprite. No Sprites until 1958.

 

I have had a thing for these since I was a little kid. If the pictures tell the story, it is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Still, I will hold out for a 49 HotShot with no doors!

I noticed that there's no grille.Is it an air cooled car?

There is an air scoop under the front bumper that directs the air into the radiator.
