The automotive landscape of the early 1950s was punctuated by a flash of micro-magic: the Crosley-based Skorpion. This fiberglass roadster, barely larger than a carnival bumper car, featured styling by LeBaron’s Ralph Roberts. Built on a Crosley chassis, the tiny terror sported a vibrant red exterior and drew 26 horsepower from its innovative four-cylinder engine. Sold primarily as a kit, the Skorpion was a quirky, post-war sports car, a nimble curiosity that stood in bright contrast to the era’s massive machines.
