Marshall and the Crosley

 

 

I know that I have sent this out before.  This is my oldest brother, Marshall, a Senior at Levelland High School.  The car is a Crosley station wagon, red; I'm thinking it was a 1947 model - could be wrong.  3 on the floor, stick shift.   My father had a love for weird little cars, way before tiny cars were accepted as normal.   Also had a 1952 blue Crosley pickup and a 47 English Ford.   

The year was about 1953.  At one time, boys in Levelland picked up this car and set in above the steps to the HS gym.   Apparently, it wasn't too heavy.   As an FYI, Crosley was made by the Crosley radio company and sold through Crosley stores at this time. 

We moved to Levelland in 1952 for Marshall's last year in HS.  He made some life long friends.
