Note the dually: since the FarmOroad lacked a front axle, if you ordered a 4WD from the factory you got four wheels in the back.

You need those extra tires to get the most out of the 26.5 thundering horses!

This thing looks like 3/7ths of a Wrangler, I dig it!

You sent me back down a rabbit hole and I discovered that a company named Croft made a Farm O Road copy called the Bug from 59-63.

Basically an early side by side. Funny how history repeats itself.

Das Awkscht Fescht often has  a Crosley club in attendance with an interesting grouping of vehicles. The above pictures are from various shows over the last 10 years or so.

Scary thought, but the “car” on the left is a King Midget. It was a road legal kit car.

I figured it had to be a Crosley, that’s cool.

My dad tells stories of how he used to run around their ranch as an 8 year old in an old Crosley where  the engine gave up and they replaced it with a lawn mower engine.

In 1964 Crofton sold a 4 wheel drive Bug, which was a rebranded Steyr- Puch Haflinger.

I was familiar with the Steyr version of this, but I wasn’t aware of the Crofton.
