Frank Kurtis was – and still is – known for many things in the American high-performance world, thus our profile of him as a Hot Rod Hero in HMM #71. Less known accomplishments of his – but just as important as the others – were his sports cars, one of which we highlighted back in April. For SIA #83, October 1984, Richard Kelley wrote of another, built in 1939 for Bill Hughes. Its story didn’t end there, though – it ended up in Africa and would have probably been lost to time if it weren’t for a curious Frenchman. Kelley has the story.
