1949 Kurtis-Kraft Sport - Sports Rod Number One

Frank Kurtis Built It, A Flathead Ford V-8 Powered It, And Wally Parks Drove It At Bonneville. Here's A Genuine Artifact Of Hot Rod History.Our friend DeWayne Ashmead is a serious student of the automobile. He really, really likes cars, and he knows his stuff. A connoisseur, you can truly say, he owns around 50 cars, currently ranging from a '12 Metz roadster to a '93 Cadillac Allante. Ashmead can quote chapter and verse on the technical features and historical significance of every piece in his collection, but we think we may have identified his favorite. When HOT ROD approached Ashmead to do a story on the car featured here, he sent us a 12-page historical paper followed up by a binder 3 inches thick that includes every word ever published about the vehicle.
