  • Crosley Automobile Album, 1939-1993
    Indiana Historical Society - Manuscripts & Archives CROSLEY AUTOMOBILE ALBUM, 1939-1993 Collection # SC 2500 Table of Contents User information Historical sketch Scope and Content note Cataloguing information Processed by Charles Latham 23 October 1995 USER INFORMATION VOLUME OF COLLECTION: 1 item COLLECTION DATES: 1939-1993 PROVENANCE: Fred T. Buffington, Gas City, IN, 28 June 1995 RESTRICTIONS: None REPRODUCTION RIGHTS: Permission to reproduce or publish material in this collection must be obtained in writing from the Indiana Historical Society ALTERNATE FORMATS: None OTYHER FINDING AIDS: None RELATED HOLDINGS: None ACCESSION NUMBER: 95.0615 HISTORICAL SKETCH Powel Crosley, Jr., (1886-1961) was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended Ohio Miltary Institute, the University of Cincinnati, and the University of Cincinnati Law School. In the early days of automobiles, he designed two cars, but neither got into production. In the 1920s he organized the Crosley Corporation to produce a well-known radio. He also developed a refrigerator with shelves in the doors, the Shelvadoor. In the 1930s Crosley was a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve. He owned the Cincinnati Reds and radio station WLW. In 1939 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Crosley introduced the Crosley Automobile, "the forgotten man's car." It was small, priced at between $349 and $450, and powered by an air-cooled engine. Cannonball Baker drove a Crosley 6,517 miles cross-country, with a gasoline consumption of 50.4 mpg. A total of 5,757 Crosleys were sold before World War II halted production. During the war Crosley developed a Jeep-like vehicle called the PUP, and a four-cylinder engine used for refrigeration and other non-automotive purposes.

  • MICROCARROS EUROPEUS Design E Mobilidade Sustentável
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE BELAS-ARTES MICROCARROS EUROPEUS Design e Mobilidade sustentável Maria João Tavares dos Santos Gabriel Dissertação Mestrado em Design de Equipamento Especialização em Design de Produto Dissertação orientada pelo Professor Doutor Paulo Parra 2019 DECLARAÇÃO DE AUTORIA Eu, Maria João Tavares dos Santos Gabriel, declaro que a presente dissertação de mestrado intitulada “MICROCARROS EUROPEUS”, é o resultado da minha investigação pessoal e independente. O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato Lisboa, 31 de outubro de 2019 RESUMO A presente dissertação tem como tema “Microcarros Europeus – Design e Mobilidade sustentável”. O principal objetivo deste trabalho traduz-se na construção de uma leitura sistematizada do projeto e implementação de microcarros europeus ao longo do século XX, tendo em vista não só o esclarecimento/definição do próprio conceito, mas também a perceção do seu papel atual e futuro a nível da mobilidade urbana sustentável. Neste sentido, percorrem-se dimensões como o design específico dos veículos, antecessores, autores e empresas envolvidas, assim como o contexto socioeconómico inerente. Como metodologia, realizou-se uma pesquisa exaustiva em fontes bibliográficas e fontes on-line, para além de contactos diretos com colecionadores e especialistas na temática, através de fóruns de debate e participação em encontros e mostras nacionais. Os microcarros consistem em veículos motorizados, que surgiram na Europa após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, num contexto de escassez de recursos económicos, energéticos e de materiais de produção.

As any Crosley enthusiast (automobile or radio) will tell you, Powel Crosley Jr. made millions by introducing the world’s first affordable radio receiver in 1921, followed by what would become the world’s most powerful radio station, WLW.

  • 23251 Hansen Road, Tracy, CA 95304 Newsletter, Vol. XXXII, No. 2 March 2011 the Last Couple of Months Have Not Been User Friendl
    23251 Hansen Road, Tracy, CA 95304 Newsletter, Vol. XXXII, No. 2 March 2011 The last couple of months have not been user friendly for our 360s. I've been told 10'' tires do not work well in snow drifts and 360 bodies are allergic to road salt. But March is the time change and the arrival of spring signals the time to pull the car covers. Auto shows are starting to pop up on calendars like spring flowers. I am very grateful to the members who have sent in their Subaru 360 stories and technical information. It's exciting to be able to find out what other members are doing. (Don't hesitate to send us your pictures and/or stories.) I have included some of these articles in this issue. To start off, Chuck Hassel sent me information on the "Krasl Concours on the Bluff", a car show in Saint Joseph, Michigan. John Riley was able to find a successful substitute washer fluid bottle to use on a 360 pick-up or van. Garm Beall was generous and sent an article on his 360 sedan. He has a sedan with flatter style turn signal covers, which were unique to the earlier models. Douglas Miller was able to send two great pictures of his car to use in the “life with my 360 section”, one in this issue and the other with the snowman was in the December newsletter. Bringing up the rear in this issue is the financial report. It was basically a “break-even” year for 2010, but is was in the black.

    Annual Report 2017 For the year ended March 31, 2017 From a company making things, to a company making people smile. Just a glance at our vehicles and you can imagine days filled with excitement. Just a glimpse of jet wings above and you can envision worlds yet unseen. But no matter the time or place, we are always by our customers’ sides. What is important is not how many cars we make, but how many smiles we can create. More than a century has passed since the founding of Aircraft Research Laboratory, the forerunner of SUBARU.

From making things to delivering value that shines in people’s hearts, SUBARU aims to touch the hearts of people and bring smiles to their faces. We constantly challenge ourselves to ensure that satisfaction with SUBARU is reflected in the happy faces of our customers. SUBARU CORPORATION 01 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 SUBARU CORPORATION 02 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Vision for 2020 Not big in size, but a high-quality company with distinctive strengths For SUBARU, by no means a large automaker, the two strategies of uncompromising differentiation and added-value are essential for achieving sustained growth in a fierce competitive environment.

And, we will seek to have a prominent presence in customers’ minds.
