Historical info needed

[Peter.Frank]

We purchased an 'early 50's Midget racer designed in a Kurtis style' at the Spring Auburn by Auctions America. It has a VIN # and some numbers on the engine block. Clarinetist Pete Fountain autographed the dash.
It can be seen at www.rollingart@hargray.biz under "Midget Racer".
We're looking for any clues to it's identity. One eBay seller with similar car thought it might be. 46-47 Hillengass. Have already enjoyed the archived newsletters and look forward to all the expertise and knowledge of the participants.

Best wishes, Peter
