Household appliance manufacturer, Powel Crosley was one of the few Americans who, in 1939, believed in the commercial potential of an economical car. His first model was equipped with an air-cooled Waukesha twin-cylinder engine. After the war we saw models with a water-cooled 4-cylinder, whose block was in welded sheet metal, which however caused major corrosion problems. Even Crosley therefore decided to manufacture its own blocks in the foundry. Production nearly reached 30,000 in 1948 but ceased in 1952 with the arrival of European cars. The Hotshot sports model distinguished itself in competitions and also for being the first to use disc brakes.

GOLDVARG

Sergio Goldvarg, born in 1957, is an Argentine architect, well known as a collector of cars and models. His model car collection is enormous and has even been reviewed in the Guinness Book of Records. Goldvarg has also gathered considerable experience in the production of model cars, and the current range offers American resincast subjects in 1:43 scale. The models are very well conceived and show great attention to detail and quality of assembly.
