What is this, AND what year is it?

That third light makes me kind of uncomfortable.

I see you’re in my neck of the woods. I love that Crosley, it’s always parked around there!

It’s a Crosely, about 1947? They got a new grill in ‘48.

If this was a GM ad, people would think it’s a BMW.

The interior reminds me of my friend’s Lexus though.

It’s a Crosley 2-door sedan, not sure of year, but fairly early postwar.

The hipsters got tired of W123s and Volvo 240s. Now carbureted is the new thing since fuel injection is so mainstream.

I’m thinking maybe Audi?

I'm pretty sure the third light was the only brake-light originally, the other two look like 60s era add-ons to comply with NY notoriously fickle inspection laws. Same with those turn signal stalks on the front. Still a beautiful sight, I've never seen one IRL. Wonder why he's not running a historic plate?

I should really check out that one on my local CL. Would make a nice DD.

I want to meet this guy

My guess is that it’s either the king of the hipsters, or someone who bought the car when it was new.

There’s a Crosley street parked in NYC?!?

Wow! That guy deserves a freaking medal. Driving in city traffic in a tiny microcar has to be scary as hell.
