You owe a huge debt to Crosley, it seems to be. Obviously, driving a 23
hp car marked you indelibly. As a result, when you had a little money,
you overcompensated in a truly monumental way and bought a Cobra, which
has appreciated to maybe 30 or 40 times what you paid for it (of course,
you have to subtract the cost of a paint job).
I never owned a Crosley--a Henry J was as far as I ever fell down the
automotive food chain--so I never experienced Crosley backlash. When I
started earning money, I was satisfied to buy a series of lesser cars
which determinedly returned to the earth from which they sprang and which,
if I still owned them, I would have to pay someone to haul away.
