Who is the fastest? Parade of production sports cars from 1959

December 20, 2013 — Werner Oswald 188

In 1959, the range of sports cars on offer was still quite limited. The magazine 'hobby' counted around 30 models and the comparison fitted onto just a few magazine pages.

This report reproduces the original wording of the article at the time and shows the vehicles mentioned in over 170 archive photos as well as in many original sales brochures
