Long before he became famous for designing and building Indianapolis racers that won the 500-mile race five times, Los Angeles fabricator Frank Kurtis made a considerable reputation building the best midget race cars in the world.
Beginning in the late 1930s, his company, Kurtis Kraft, churned out over 1,150 midgets, 500 in ready-to-race form and 600 kits.
