Ahhhh! The Muntz jet! Based on the Kurtis Sports car but lengthened to get a
small back seat in it! Had either a Lincoln V8 or a Cadillac engine. 1950's
stuff! Wonder how fast it could go around a curve in the road!
There's a Crosley Pick up for sale in the Portland OR area and a Crosley Hot
Shot
in the Sacramento area available. Both have the Cobra engine, I believe, but
not
too sure of that. It was sure a lot more tinny than the Bug Eye, even if it had
its own set! The Hot Shot came with optional doors and side curtains!
