1948 HRG Hurgenhauser Racer news, pictures, and information
|  | View more photos Boattail Special |
This example is a one-off prototype that has competed in the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix on a couple of occasions. It has an aerodynamic, boat-tail body similar in design to the HRG that won the Watkins Glen Queen Catharine Cup in 1949. The car was treated to a restoration in 1999 and shown at the Grand Prix Festival of Watkins Glen in 2000 where it left with Best of Show honors.
HRG was an English maker of sports cars until 1956. These cars were intended to be 'Gentleman's Racers', and although mechanically crude, these cars were well liked by enthusiasts and successful in competition. HRGs won the 1.5-liter class at LeMans in 1939 and 1949. This car is a one-off prototype, fitted with an Offenhauser racing engine.
