Crosley Ad Index

1951 Crosley front endA few years ago I purchased a large collection of Crosley car advertisements off the internet. Somebody had meticulously clipped and saved entire pages from vintage magazines featuring ads for the obscure Crosley automobile. In honor of that anonymous obsession, I have scanned samples of all the ads and catalogued them below. Click on any image to view a larger picture.

Best viewed on a desktop web browser with the window set wide as possible. If your browser shows tiny arrows in the column headings, you can click those to sort the table.

MODELS KEY (pictured in ad): Sedan, Convertible, Truck, station Wagon, sport Utility/covered wagon, Panel, Hotshot, supeR sports, Farm-o-road
