Default Cunningham returning

The Cunningham was the first real American sports car (built in 1951 before Corvette, Cobra, etal). The car had a tubular chassis and a Chrysler Hemi V-8. The son of Briggs Cunningham is planning to reintroduce this classic. For an interesting look and history, go to: http://w3.nai.net/~edwardh/chm1.htm

I grew up in the same neighborhood as where Briggs had lived back in the 50's and 60's.

He is an amazing person.

If you are interested to learn more about him I highly recommend the book Briggs Swift Cunningham ($29.95, Soft Bound; 208 pages, ISBN: 0760312125). You can order it from Motorbook.com at:

Beautifully made, oversized book. You won't believe the life that Briggs has led. He truly is a LIVING LEGEND!!!
