Muntz Jet (1950 to 1954)

The Muntz Jet was a a limited production car introduced in 1950. The Jet, the only model built by the Muntz Motor Company, was built in a two door convertible body style, with a front mounted engine and drive going to the rear wheels. Two different V8s were used from Cadillac and Lincoln, with both engines having an output of 160hp. A GM hydramatic automatic transmission was fitted as standard, but a 3 speed manual could be optioned. The Jet had a high cost to build, meaning production only ended up lasting until 1954, with just 198 examples leaving the factory.
