About Me
- Ol' Man Foster
- I spend somewhere near 40% of my waking hours obsessing over old cars. Usually, this obsessing revolves around an improbable American micro car from the midcentury period-- the Crosley. My fascination began with a quest to strip down my life by driving the world's simplest car. Turns out that nothing is as simple as it seems.

Nash Rambler woud be my guess
Jim...
I was being a rhetorical smartass - N is a Crosley station wagon.
Did the ad actually claim N was a Crosley? Doesn't look right to me. I still go with Nash Rambler. Windows are wrong, outside visor was rare on Crosley but fairly common on Ramblers, I think a factory option.
Jim...
I think it would be funny to revive that ad using 2011 cars, because my answer would be a resounding "nope!"
N is definitely a Crosley wagon- it's a spot-on profile, right down to the bomber windows. Plus, the Rambler wasn't introduced until 1950, and I believe (from the other cars in the ad) that this is from 1948 or 49.
And, Crosleys did indeed have Motorola radios.
Kinda looks like a "Keller " made in 1947.
