Photo Gallery «Cunningham 1952-1954 - Self-construction of a track and field athlete»

There were around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. Cunningham is one of the brands that are unknown today. The successful American track and field athlete and sailor Briggs Swift Cunningham switched to motor racing in 1930. 10 years later, he competed in Le Mans for the first time with his own design. In addition to racing sports cars, sports cars for the road were also produced from 1951 onwards.
