What a hoot. TVs of that size (and smaller) were sold years earlier by other companies. And I seriously doubt that TV was really the best selling set in the industry, in 1954 or any other year. Never laid eyes on one, myself.
In fairness, that website has little connection with the original Crosley company. It's the headquarters for selling new repro sets under that name.

That set came out in the late 40's like the the rest of the E'stat sets.
The Motorola was the best seller of all of them.
