Crosley was basically reincarnated in the early 70's. They are owned by about 70 warehouse/wholesaler/distributors and sold only through independent dealers. It's almost kindof like a buying group. They've had Maytag making laundry (Norgetag), refrigs, stoves, and dw's. Whirlpool is (was now that they also own Maytag) a minor supplier with a few laundry pieces and now some refrigeration. About 2 years ago they were using Electrolux to make some refrigs & el-cheapo dw's. That didn't last long. The nice thing is the 10 year extended warranty that they include at no charge. EX) Dryers get a 10 year parts warranty on the motor & heater. you can't beat that on a $299 rebadged WP dryer. I like the Crosley line. I carry quite a few on the floor.

Got Crosley?
I have a 1954 Crosley Shelvador that works to this day. I did buy a Crosley/Norgtag/Herrin Illinois dryer about five years ago. Worked great! Had to leave it at the old house. I need a new gas grill and was thinking about buying a Crosley. Having some trouble finding a dealer that carries it though. I wonder who makes their grills. Hmmm. My condolences to the Herrin people who are losing their jobs. They've been doin' good work for a good long time. | ||

Those control panels are reminiscent of the Neptune TL panels. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Looks like a rebadged old-style Neptune to me...strange that this particular model isn't on the Crosley website. I'd like to see a "full frontal" as well. | ||

Yes. It's the 5500 Neptune rebadged. The messed-up thing about the radios is that the Crosley Appliance co. does not make the radios. At about the time they were coming out with the major appliances another company was coming out with the radios under the Crosley name, not realizing that the appliance co already had legal title to the name. From what I understand, the appliance co decided to help ditribute the radios. paulg , I think the grills are made by Phoenix. | ||

I was close on the radio manufacture thing. Here is a small story (from 2004) on the "new" Crosley. The Buddy Dixson mentioned in the story has since passed away and now his son has taken over for him.
