1949 Kurtis Sport Car
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. The car appeared on the first-ever MotorTrend magazine cover in September 1949.
Matchbox introduced the model in 2022 and continued it in various colours unlit 2025.
2022 was in blue.
2023 was in red.
2024 was in dark green and 2025 in metallic dark red. If you have these, please share here. Thanks.
I don't have one, but I'm glad MB made these. Most folks have probably never even heard of this car.
I have the 1/43 from Brooklin and this one.
