We Bought a 1941 Crosley Microcar at an Estate Sale... Will it Run?

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

The Crosley convertible coupe is a 2 cylinder microcar made in the early 40s, and we found one at an estate sale and had to buy it! The opposed twin Waukesha engine is an industrial engine used in equipment, and in WWII. Unfortunately, this one has over 16,000 miles and doesn't have much compression! In today's episode of CarsandCameras, we see if we can make this 80 year old micro run again.
