Powell was an independent company. They built their own bodies and then used old 1941 Plymouth chassis and engines they got from junkyards. I'm not sure what their plans were when the junkyards ran out of cars to salvage.

Powell Crosley was the man behind Crosley automobiles, appliances, etc. Wonder if that is a tie in?

The company was founded by two brothers, Hayward and Channing Powell, so there's probably no connection to Crosley.
