Crosley Hotshot Is America's Smallest Sports Car

21.05.12

By definition a sports car is a small vehicle with limited capacity designed to put the driving experience ahead of practicality. If this 12 foot long 1950 Crosley Hotshot project we found on Ebay isn't an early embodiment of the aforementioned criteria, we aren't sure what is.

Introduced in 1949 as a sporty version of the tiny Crosley passenger cars, the 1100 pound Hotshot featured a 26.5 horsepower 724cc. Thanks to its relatively low power output even when it was new the cut down Crosley was hardly ever a speed demon.

The Hotshot was however a relatively cheap ($849 new) and quirky way to get the "sports car experience" in a tiny package—some still refer to it as "the first American sports car. Even with its meager horsepower the little car managed to win the "index of performance"—an award which took speed and engine size into account—at the 1950 Six Hours of Sebring.

Unfortunately for Crosley these odd little cars never really caught on. When they were introduced in 1949, Crosley sales were already starting to slip. Despite the fact the company had sold more station wagons in 1948 than any other American car maker, Crosley was out of business by the end of the summer of '52.
