Briggs Cunningham C-3 (1952 to 1955)

The C-3 was introduced by Briggs Cunningham in 1952. It was a premium sports car produced to homologate its competition cars for international racing. Only 30 units were built: 25 coupes and 5 convertibles. All had elegant bodies designed by Giovanni Michelotti and built by Vignale in Italy. The C-3 used a 5.4L V8 engine, modified with multiple carburetors for improved performance. Featuring rear-wheel drive and a 3-speed manual transmission, the C-3 combined American engineering with European design, resulting in a car of great performance and refinement. The Briggs Cunningham C-3 was produced until 1955.
