Equipment
Rear mounted spare, hubcaps, cream wheels, blackwall tires, Crosley radio.
Condition
A Crosley Hot Shot like this was the winner of the first Sebring race in 1950 It didnt cover the most distance (that was Fred Wacker and Frank Burrell in a Cad Allard with 109 laps) but Fritz Koster and Ralph Deshon drove its 89 laps most efficiently, and thats how Alec Ullman set the rules This diminunitive Crosley sold for $19,250 at RMs Hershey auction last October and brought a modestly better price here in Ft Lauderdale Its not restored like new but what Hot Shot can be restored like new without being ludicrously expensive
Market commentary
Not like new but very presentable with good new paint, interior, and top. Engine compartment is neat, has new wiring but many black details have been repainted over superficial prep and old paint. An auction restoration but a sound, usable, and unusual car.
