1950 Crosley CD Super Panel Wagon Finished in Yellow over Green
Vinyl Seating Powered by a 724 cc inline-four paired to a 3-speed
manual transmission his 1950 Crosley Panel Wagon is a rare
commercial-bodied example. Produced as part of Crosley?s postwar
CD-series lineup, the Panel Wagon variant featured enclosed steel
cargo panels in place of rear side glass and was marketed as an
economical delivery and utility vehicle. The body has been
refinished in bright yellow and features chrome bumpers, painted
steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, dual windshield wipers, and
Crosley script badging. The compact proportions and distinctive
styling make the car a standout among postwar American microcars.
Power is provided by a later cast-iron Crosley inline-four equipped
with a single carburetor and an upgraded inline fuel filter. The
engine bay retains its period-correct layout, and power is sent to
the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual
transmission. The cabin features a simple painted dashboard, black
seating surfaces, and cargo space behind the front bench.
Instrumentation includes a centrally mounted speedometer and
auxiliary gauges. The firewall-mounted serial plate shows chassis
number CD204015. Crosley vehicles have developed a cult following
for their innovative engineering, lightweight construction, and
distinctive styling, and true Panel Wagon examples are considerably
rarer than passenger models. This example presents well as a quirky
collector piece, promotional vehicle, or vintage advertising
display car.
