Yea! Jim Chamber is correct.

winner!

Munts Jet, '47 or '48..

It does look like a late 40s Hudson, whoever designed it liked the Hudson a lot...

MattR got ahead of me and has proof.

DONT YOU ALL remember Mad Man Muntz?

IIRC, on the Muntz Jet the doors slid forward into the fenders. Is this correct, or am I crazy?

I think the Kaiser Darin had the sliding doors.

An LA phenomonon, so he may not have heard of him. Later made Muntz car audio stuff. Real interesting guy. Without him, we wouldn't have those late night local channel crazies selling cars, and he invented the 4 track car stereo, which developed into the 8 track we all love (!) ........................

The Cap'n

He had a shop at Roscoe Blvd. and the 405 for many years till Galpin Ford bought the building.

I remember Muntz TV's and Stereos

Adding to the list, hope you don't mind.
I had a sweet one about 18 years ago.....

Looks like a Simca

Ken

that's a Ford Anglia - for sure

maybe a Vauxhall

Ok, Maybe I am old, I remember the Muntz Stereo Pack. We had one in our car. My dad was so proud of it. The old 4 track player. It was wide, looked very similar to the 8 track but when you put the tape in, you had to move a lever to engage the drive into the tape. Dad was quite the audiophile back then. It had speakers that were surface mount on the rear deck and some on the front kick panels too. I remember listening to music by Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher, The Association, and all the greats back then.

I remember Mad Man Muntz he also made television sets a real huckster.

All well and good. What two motors powered the Muntz? Those who saw the Art Morrison car in Fife cant answer!
