Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One of 300 Muntz Jets, Lincoln road race twin carb engine that was not running smoothly when started. Chrome and carpets were average as was the panel fit. Paint and seats were exceptional.

Market commentary

Quite stunning and one can only imagine this baby in its heyday being driven by a movie star down Sunset Blvd. Today most people would think this Muntz Jet is a custom car and not a limited production model. The removable Carson Top does not add to its practicality, but was ahead of its time and a novelty. It still is today.
