I've got a 1953 Muntz Jet sales catalog........

The catalog states that the car has a Lincoln V8 hyramatic engine. 54 inches high, 166 inch wheelbase and is 181 inches long. The car was manufactured at 1000 Grey Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. I wonder how many they sold. I've never seen a Muntz Jet and wonder how many are still around.

In my collection of car catalogs, I have a catalog on every car beginning in 1946 and continues to present day. It's interesting what some of these catalogs are now worth. At the time they are available from the dealers they have little, if any, preceived value and most are eventually thrown away.

Ewwww....!

Mercifully, the only place one can find this wretched heap is in the BACK of some old car books!
