Hmmm...they should be, since there's a lot of history to this company...
Crosley Radio Company was started by Powel Crosley, Jr. in Cincinnati(Ohio) in the late 1920's as a maker of radios, later expanding to kitchen appilances, and in 1948, automobiles...
He was also the long-time owner of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, and started one of the oldest NBC Radio stations in the U.S.(WLW radio);expanding to television in 1951(?) to include the new NBC TV network(starting WLWT Channel 5, still on the air as an NBC-owned station after almost 60 years!)...
Powel's adventure in automobile manufacturing lasted only until 1952, when what was left of the Crosley Motors empire was sold to Avco...
Powel died in the late 1960s(year unknown), and what was left of Crosley Radio was almost forgotten for many years until the late 1970s, when the company was re-started in Cincinnati, making radios once again, then expanding to TVs, then contracting out w/ various foreign kitchen appliance makers(like Germany's Robert Bosch Gmbh, and South Korea's Lucky-GoldStar, now just simply LG Electronics), but built to Crosley's strict quality standards...
So to answer your question, yes, they still are!
Go ahead and get one!...
Good luck!
