I wondered who would be first to ask that, but I'm afraid it has no Crosley connection at all!

No, it's a proper car with an engine!

It's not the name I saw, but I couldn't say with certainty that it's not!
If you have something on it you could send by PM I'll look into it.

..but Yes!
That's about all I know about this car.
Here's the blurb that accompanied the picture:

QUOTE
Of all the cars at this years Americana Festival I thought this one was the most interesting. Cobbled together some 60 years ago, it is not a Crosley Hot Shot as I first thought. Some old guy, probably now dead, put this together years ago by piecing various body parts on a fabricated frame. It is powered by a Ford 60 h.p. flathead v-8. Back in those days people were truly ingenious, working with little money but excellent craft skills and creativity.
