Exactly, but since there were made some significant modifications, I can't exclude that they were just testing those ...changes.. for their car...

The Playboy was about that size, and didn't use a Crosley engine...

Was the builder-to-be a US concern?

If it's Bobbi-Kar or Keller, I'll kick myself.

A known (probably) still alive company, absolutely not in the automotive field, developed this project car, derived from a Crosley, to test a new car, for a later production or just as an experiment. It is much easier if your attention goes to the ...spirit... of this car....

The Crosley Farm-O-Road was later produced by Crofton, so was this car also made by Crofton?

Are those changes clearly recognizable on that pic? I already compared a regular Crosley and that mystery car, but couldn't find any significant difference..
The white car seems to have slightly bigger doors, but that could depend on the camera's angle.

...and that obscure company usually produced electric engines for non-automotive purpose and tested whether these would work for cars as well?
