Last week I wrote of an American visionary who built a road-going sports car which was very advanced for its day. Like Colin Chapman’s Lotus cars you could buy his sports car as a kit, or as a turnkey for a few dollars more.
The designer won at Indianapolis four times, and the proud boast was that it was quicker than the Jaguar XK 120. I asked who was that man? It was Frank Kurtis who made the Kurtis-Kraft vehicles.
So to this week. Which father took his daughter’s name to sell the cars he was racing in the early 1900’s?
