Some of the Ercoupe's (415-C and 415-CD models) are for sale as LSA (light sport aircraft) as they meet the FAA requirements to be flown by sport pilots.

Below is an advertisement from 1946 in Skyways magazine:

When you drive a car, you have to coordinate footwork and handwork. When you fly your ERCOUPE your hand on the wheel is enough. There's no footwork in the *spin-proof ERCOUPE the world's safest plane.

*Certified incapable spinning by U.S. Civil Aeronautics Administration

ERCOUPE‘S spin-proof safety design resuls in simplified operation. A single steering wheel guides ERCOUPE up or down, banks and lurns it left or righl... makes flying easier, reduces learning time by one-third. Sturdy all-metal conslruclion, tricycle landing gear. Economical operation, low maintenance cost.

Editor's note: The prices listed here are for a ERCOUPE 1946 415C LSA ($33,500) and a ERCOUPE 415-C LSA ($25,000) listed for sale online.
