Equipment
Dual spotlights, heater, radio, doors. Seemingly entirely original Hot Shot fully accessorized and embellished with period chrome trim including wheel arch eyebrows. If the lights, spotlights, radio and heater fan are running simultaneously the poor engine probably stalls, but this is the neatest and most original Hot Shot seen in a long, long time and is remarkably complete, even to its metal doors. A great little time capsule; how it survived 51 years without being butchered is a wonder.
Market commentary
The first Sebring Six Hours was run to an Index of Performance formula and a Crosley Hot Shot was declared the overall winner even though it completed only 89 laps, being lapped some twenty times by the Fred Wacker Frank Burrell Cad Allard. This price is appropriate for a decent Hot Shot but considering this examples exceptional originality and comprehensive equipment it is a real bargain. A post war preservation class candidate that would be ruined by restoration.
