Crosley Book Review

Crosley and Crosley Motors: An Illustrated History of America’s First Compact Car

Michael A. Banks. The book is available at Walmart, Amazon, etc. but it is quite expensive at $39.00. This highly illustrated Crosley book has over 200 photos and illustrations,  production and model data and the varied Crosley engine applications (COBRA/CIBA). Other highlights include Crosley’s engineering innovations as:

  • Early disc brakes on production cars.

  • The lightweight COBRA engine.

  • Targeted fuel efficiency decades ahead of others.
