 The book I have says that from 1939 to 1952, Crosley used a L4 12Hp (1939)
and a L4, 44.0 25.5hp in 1952. L means that it was a straight, inline 
engine as oopsed to a V-block. I have further stats, if you want them.

I believe you are essentially correct.  However, the engine block
was a metal stamping ! ! !  Can you believe that.  I know this was true
at least in the war years and post war years.  I have heard that the 
engine had a durability problem which was mostly attributed to galvanic
corrosion from the different metal types used, although I don't know if
that is accurate.

When I was a tyke, my dad had a (new) Crosley, and I know that on more
than one occasion, a wheel came off while he was driving it.
