Photo Gallery «Kurtis 500 Swallow Coupé by Allied - Built for the road race "La Carrera Panamericana" 1955»
The 1955 Kurtis Coupé with an Allied body was built especially for participation in the 1955 Mexican road race "La Carrera Panamericana" for racing driver Mickey Thompson, but it did not take part at the time as the race was canceled at short notice. Kurtis only built two examples of this version of the coupé and, despite its lack of historical racing history, it is a desirable beauty that doesn't look like it has a 5.2-liter V8 engine from the outside. This report tells the story of this special coupé and shows it in many photos.
