1947 Kurtis Kraft Midget Roadster

This car was purchased new by Elmer Falk in 1948 and retained by him until his death in 1994. Noted East Coast restorer, Joe Fiore, acquired the car from the estate in 1994 and it was restored for 1950s/60s sprint car owner Walter Beletsky.

Acquired from Beletsky in April 2009, the current owner had Joe Fiore restored the car back to the original 1948 condition with a Ford V8 60 motor and paint scheme of maroon and blue. The car retains all of its original chassis, suspension, steering and body components.

In the 1940s/50s, Falk had a number of East Coast professionals successfully drive the car, including George Flemke, Johnny Kay, Nick Fornoro, Bobby Minor, Mike Nazaruk, Bill Schindler, etc.

Falk drove the car himself but was not as successful as the professional 'hot shoes.' The car was retired in the early 1960s and sat in Elmer's garage until his death.
