I like the earlier ones, with the split grille.

they look cool restored, and then, they look cool hot rodded as dragster/gassers

Raw Power??

My uncle had a Crosely. He said that it was so weak that he had to back up a mountain rd here in TN because it would not pull up the grade in any of the foward gears lol lol . They also tell me that a good sized man could pick the engine up with little strain and set it in and out of the car.
