It's a Volkswagon!!!

Actually it wasn't ... I was digging through some old paper and saw what I thought was a Volkswagon which even had a rear engine but it wasn't and it was years and years before Germany started cranking these little buggers out. The concern that showed this vehicle also made bathroom fixtures. Name this company... as the owner also had a major league stadium named after him. ps, looking at that picture was really weird as I had no idea that the Volkswagon could have been copied by the Germans from the US..

I know there was a car named the Crosley, but I have no idea what they looked like. Crosley also made radios, I think.

Briggs Manufacturing Company.

The owner was Walter Briggs, Sr.(Detroit Tigers, Briggs Stadium).

A Crosley was a super sub compact, not much bigger than the radio. My parents slung a cradle hammock crosswise in the back so I could ride around in it. This was in Aruba in 1948-50, so maybe there wasn't much room to park.

It was Briggs. This body built by Briggs was from 1935 and it looks so much like a VW. Good call on Crosley though,I'd forgotten about that one but they didn't make bathroom fixtures...

Big Brother is watching! There was of course a Volkswagen ad at the top of the page when I opened this thread.
