Title: Solved - MJW #578 - Cozzolino Crosley Special 1955
Post by: woodinsight on August 19, 2011, 02:38:12 PM
Last one for today.
It looks like a former dodgem car but it was built as a road-going sports car.
For one point, who built it and what car was it based on?

I think it's the same car but little info: Custom Crosley built in the 50's and recently found & restored by the original builder's son & grandson

I'm certain that it's the same car and the information you provided is correct.
All I need for the point is the original builder's name.
Locked for you.

Custom Crosley by Pilier
Sorry but that's not the name I have.
His surname is 9 letters long and begins with a 'C'
I'll keep it locked until your next reply only.
