Pre-War Models

Note: Check here for general Pre-War Info.

My41 – Spring 2010

Can someone tell me if there was a model designation for the Pre-War Crosleys, or are they just called Pre-War.

ChuckK – Spring 2010

Pre-War's had 8 models (by the end of production). Liberty Sedan (hardtop), Pickup, Panel Delivery, Parkway Delivery, Covered Wagon, Station Wagon, Victory Sedan (Convertible Sedan) and Master Cabriolet (Convertible Coupe). This info is from Crosley 1941/42 Repair Manual. (The models rolled out over the years, first year just the Convertible Sedan and Coupe, in 1940 the Wagon and Parkway were added, then in 41 the Covered Wagon, and the two deliveries were added, 42 the Liberty was added to finish out the 8 model lineup.)

DaveA – Spring 2010

Like Chuck said, there were a number of different models. Most common are the convertible coupe and the convertible sedan. The rest are pretty scarce.

JimB – Spring 2010

Not sure what My41 is looking for, but I believe the 39-40 years were called model CA (40 was C2A) and the 41-42 were model CB (CB41, CB42). That is why the postwar were CC and CD.

Pre-War Production

Pre-Wars along with refrigerators and other appliances were built in Richmond IN. The cars and refrigerators were built on different assembly lines on a large manufacturing floor, people building refrigerators could see the car line across the room.
