Below are some high res scans of the whole original story, along with some other nuggets from the same issue...

Back in the early fifties Road and Track (and other sportscar mags) gave Crosley a lot of coverage - which made sense since they produced the only American production sportscar at the time. The same issue of R&T that featured the "Cruikshank" article also featured a much-modified HotShot running Pebble Beach, and the Siata that won the 12 hour Vero Beach race that year. I did a bit of a double-take when I saw the HotShot- I've never seen one that looked more like a Bugeye Sprite - especially with the right hand drive!
If any collectors out there need an original copy of this particular issue, I discovered that I have an extra copy. It's in pretty good shape (in my comic book nerd days I'd have graded it 'Fine')... it's yours for $7 + postage. Email me at timtaker at yahoo.com if you want it!

Nice use of the word, "infanticide"!
