produced a line of radios and home appliances, and a line of
subcompact automobiles. His pre-war automobiles, in a variety of
body styles, used a two-cylinder Waukesha motor. In 1946, he adapted
the wartime generator motor, also the first mass-production overhead
camshaft motor, called the CoBRa (for Copper BRazed water jackets)
for use in his automobiles. This was superseded by the CIBa (Cast
Iron Block assembly) in 1949, and these motors were again fitted to a
bewildering range of Crosley body styles.
Crosley also had an interest in farming, and he developed his groundbreaking,
small utility tractor-cum-road vehicle during the late forties. It
became available in June 1950, with power takeoffs and a long list of
accessory plows, harrows, cultivators, mowers, and even snow skis, as
well as weather protection gear for family road use. Sold until 1952, it
re-emerged briefly as the Crofton Bug.
