Looks like Ford, Cadillac and Lincoln motors were used. Car was a successor to the Frank Kurtis sports car.

Lots of info here: http://www.americansportscars.com/muntz.html

Waaay beyond my knowledge but the show's theme included Chrysler and Ford-powered cars. Do you know what powered the Muntz Jet?

Rick - I sent on the pics to long time Lister/Lurker – James Oldham.  Car guy extraordinaire.  For the second car in the first picture, front row he came up with: “Oh, the car looks like a Muntz Jet, built by Earl "Mad Man" Muntz, a colorful L.A. business man of the post war decade.” 

By Jove – I think he’s got it.  Was he close?

Now THAT’s my kinda Concours.  Wonderful cars (was that a Chrys Airflow in the first picture?  And a couple of special bodied cars from the 40 and 50’s), a bunch of history, and one heck of a good time. 

Thanks Rick

rick notes ”I had the honor of coordinating the judging for Motorsport Park.” 

Knew a serious concours judge lament – “if you have too many friends, become a concours judge.” 

That said – sounds like you had a terrific time at a terrific event.  Pictures? 

Onward
