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.

I don't have one, but I'm glad MB made these.   Most folks have probably never even heard of this car.
