Card description[]

  • Designed by racecar engineer Frank Kurtis, the 1949 Kurtis Sport Car was a sleek, high-performance, nimble roadster. The first production car of its kind, buyers could customize it to their specifications. Our latest edition honors the car that appeared on the first-ever MotorTrend magazine cover in September 1949, featuring the same paint and upholstery colors. We added a MotorTrend license plate as a nod to their 75th anniversary and status as the largest automotive media company in the world.
