Kurtis at Meadowbrook

This yearโ€™s Meadowbrook Concours, to be held August 4 in Rochester, Michigan, will pay special tribute to the legacy of innovative racecar builder Frank Kurtis, with a special collection of his race and street cars.

Kurtis began building midget racecars in the early โ€™30s, but by the โ€™50s started building racecars for the Indianapolis 500. All told, Kurtis Indy cars won the 500 a total of five times including โ€™50, โ€™51, โ€™53, โ€™54 and โ€™55.
