Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Time magazine cover hero and Americas Cup yachtsman Briggs Cunningham cut a swathe through the postwar sportsracing scene with his magnificent Cunningham sports cars. He burst into view in 1951 with his Chryslerpowered C2 sportsracers and in 1952 launched the production C3, a Vignalebodied car built as both a coupe and cabriolet. Some two dozen were made. The C4R was his 1952 racer, still Chryslerpowered, which performed well at Le Mans and with Phil Walters and John Fitch was all but unbeatable in American racing.Radical with its solidaxle front end and colossal drum brakes, the C5R of 1953 was a challenger to the Jaguars at Le Mans. In 1954 Cunningham raced a muchmodified Ferrari with watercooled brakes and in 1955 introduced his C6R, beautifully engineered by Briggs Weaver and Offenhauser powered.Fabulous unpublished pictures from the Ludvigsen Library show these great cars on the track and at rest. They carried the American flag at home and abroad with style and panache.
