Earl Muntz acquisition of the the company from Frank Kurtis. The Kurtis
represents one school of thought on sports car design, being
styled along the current American trend of the inverted bathtub
splashed with an abundance of chrome. Except for the combined body
and frame, which is completely of Kurtis design and manufacture,
the principle components of the car are stock Ford. Its
performance qualities remain to be proven, though in fairness it
should be mentioned that a factory-tuned competition model clocked
126 mph on gasoline and 142,515 on alcohol at the Bonneville
National Speed Trials, August 22, 1949. About 10 of these cars
have been built to date. The sales price has not yet been
determined.
