The CD Models include all the standard models such as Station Wagon, Sedan, Convertible, Panel Delivery and Pickup; in both Delux and Super versions. The CD series was introduced in late 1948 for the 1949 model year ran to the end in June 1952. An example of Powel Crosley saving money on the CD models: the early CD wagons, pickups and sedan deliveries had left over round gauges and mechanical brakes and the last of the CoBra tin block engines from the CC models were used on all of the early production. |

Brakes The CD models started with 6" mechanical brakes with the 1949 model but switched to 4 wheel Goodyear - Hawley Aircraft style disc brakes in May and continued through mid 1950. 9" hydraulic brakes were phased in because of freeze up problems in the areas of the country that used salt on the roads and continued to the end of production.
