Who You Callin' a Midget?

Okay, so here's a very cool '48 Kurtis Kraft Midget car which appears to be a nice older restoration and very original. Ford flathead V-8 with dual Stromberg carbs and Eddie Meyer intake. The old midgets are just awsome to look at...works of art, really. And I love the purple paint and tons of chrome. I mean, can you imagine that much chrome on a modern race car? It just isn't done. And the period magnesium knock-offs add the perfect touch to a very nice example. If you have a copy of "Kurtis-Kraft Midget – A Genealogy of Speed", by Bill Montgomery, there is apparently a bio of this car on page 99. I don't have a copy, so I don't know what it says. Offered for sale by the St. Louis Auto Museum on eBay here.
