American Classics at Art Center

What would you do if you received this 1949 Kurtis Sports car for your high school graduation?  We imagine that Arlen Kurtis, whose gorgeous yellow convertible we found lounging on the lawn at the Art Center Car Classic, would have flipped out in the best possible way.  Arlen received this Kurtis, an early graduation gift, from his father Frank at the beginning of his senior year in 1950.

This 1952 Hudson Wasp has a Hollywood pedigree, as it was once owned by Steve McQueen.  This Hudson is now owned by the Petersen Automotive Museum, and has not changed at all since Steve owned it.Stay tuned for more vintage automotive goodness!
